For Star subscribers: Arizona lawmakers are moving to permanently bar health officials from requiring students to be vaccinated against the coronavirus to attend public schools.
Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — State lawmakers are moving to permanently bar health officials from requiring students be vaccinated against COVID to attend public schools.
Osborne told lawmakers she's not an"anti-vaxer.'' She said she has lost friends to COVID and urged her 92-year-old mother-in-law to get inoculated against the virus. Humble, a former state health director, pointed out there is no requirement now for students to be vaccinated against COVID. He detailed the process health officials would have to undertake, including public hearings, to add COVID to the list of mandated vaccines for school attendance.
Sen. Kelly Townsend, R-Apache Junction, said the language in the measure is consistent with provisions in the Parents' Bill of Rights that's in Arizona statutes. Among those rights is the right to make health-care decisions for a minor child. Sen. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, said that in just the first few months of the Pfizer vaccine being available there were more than 1,100 deaths.
