In the days before Tennessee stopped encouraging teenagers to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, Republican lawmakers met privately with the state health commissioner and a representative of the governor’s office to discuss specifically how to dial back vaccination advocacy to minors. Those same lawmakers on Wednesday shut down opposition comments from Democrats and the public in a highly-anticipated hearing.
This behind-the-scenes meeting appears to have appeased members of the conservative supermajority, who just last month accused the Department of Health of pressuring teens to get vaccinated and proposed dissolving the agency.
Since then, the health department instructed staff to end all outreach about adolescent vaccinations – not just coronavirus, but for all diseases – and cancelled COVID-19 vaccination events on school property or intended specifically for teenagers.

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.
