Texas bill could hand vaccine decisions in schools over to lawmakers
Nick Wagner/Xinhua via Getty Images, FILE (AUSTIN, Texas) -- A bill described as "anti-vaccine" is moving through the Texas legislature and could give lawmakers the power to make decisions about vaccines in schools rather than doctors or administrators. SB 1024, which was recently passed by a Senate committee -- and will soon be voted on by the Texas Senate and the House -- could limit schools and local health departments from being able to require or recommend immunizations. While the proposed legislation mainly focuses on ending COVID-19 restrictions and barring COVID-19 vaccine requirements, public health experts say it could have implications for any kind of vaccine.
