Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Dear PROVE Members, Please keep those calls coming in to your state senator, lieutenant governor and governor to oppose HB 1316 which mandates Hepatitis A and Pneumococcal vaccines for all babies in day care. Two key facts to let them know are: * only 3 states mandate Hepatitis A vaccine for daycare! (AK, AZ, OK) * only 3 states mandate Pneumococcal vaccine for daycare! (ID, ME, TN) (http://www.immunizationinfo.org/vaccineInfo/vaccine_detail.cfv?id=3#stateReq) We delivered our first issue of " Meet the Victims - Oppose HB 1316 " to the Texas Senate. You can view the newsletter on our web site at http://www.vaccineinfo.net/victims/Hepatitis_A_.pdf. We will feature one of our member families who has a child who has reacted to these vaccines in each issue. Unfortunately there are a core group of legisators who don't seem to care about the children hurt by vaccines so we hope this education campaign will make a difference to the compassionate legislators! Remember - all we need are 11 no votes to stop this bill from being brought up for a vote - get a commitment for a no vote from your senator today! If you would like to refresh yourself on some of the other issues of why this is a bad bill, we have information against the bill published on our web site at http://www.vaccineinfo.net/alerts/Oppose_HB1316.shtml. You can lookup your Texas State Senator at http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/fyi/fyi.htm and select district type – Senate. Call their capitol office. If you would like to just state your opinion to Lieutenant Governor Dewhurst, call the comment line at . If you have something personal you would like to express in depth to a policy analyst, you can call and ask for a health policy analyst to express your concerns. If you would like to contact Governor Rick , call the comment line at (512) 463-1782. If you have something personal you would like to express in depth to a policy analyst, you can call and ask for a health policy analyst to express your concerns.
