Republican Bob Stefanowski made childhood COVID-19 vaccinations a late campaign issue Thursday with a pledge not to require them to attend school and a challenge for Gov. Ned Lamont to make the same promise.
The challenge from the GOP’s gubernatorial nominee comes as a medical advisory committee urged the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to add the vaccine to the recommended immunization schedule for children and adults.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski said Tuesday he believes vaccines work but he wants the state to allow a religious exemption for required childhood vaccinations.
