Article bookmarked Don t show me this message again✕ Tennessee Health Department Firing (Copyright 2021 The Associated Press. All rights reserved) Two Tennessee Republican lawmakers said Wednesday they received assurances that the state s health agency won t vaccinate minors for COVID-19 without parental consent, doubling back on a decades-old provision about children s vaccination rights that was a lightning rod in the firing of the state s top vaccine official. The announcement came during a meeting of the same legislative panel that last month grilled Department of Health officials among them, then-vaccine chief Michelle Fiscus. The state has since terminated Fiscus in what she contends was a move to appease some GOP lawmakers who fumed over state outreach for COVID-19 vaccinations to minors. Some even threatened to dissolve the Health Department.
