KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - Joint Government Operations Committee Chairmen Kerry Roberts and John Ragan made an announcement Wednesday assuring parental consent for minors to receive a Covid-19 vaccine.
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, who was recently fired following complaints about her leadership style, according to state records.
During the June meeting, both Roberts and Ragan, along with other committee members, expressed two concerns to Commissioner Lisa Piercey: administering the Covid-19 vaccination without parental consent and marketing directly to minors.
