Lessons learned: Education is not enough to combat anti-vaccine propaganda
Anti-vax protestors outside the State Capitol.
The Connecticut House of Representatives just passed legislation to end the religious exemption for the school vaccination requirement ( HB6423). The Connecticut state Senate must act quickly to do the same. If passed, Connecticut would require medically able school children to receive vaccines as recommended by the CDC.
Opponents argue Connecticut should pursue education to voluntarily increase vaccination rates. We support education, but not as a substitution for school vaccine requirements. Connecticut has already pursued education to no avail. In truth, even the most aggressive education campaign is no match for the anti-vaccination propaganda playbook machine.
