Dear All,

The NY Senate Health Committee just moved this bill along and we need to stop it

in the Assembly and in the rest of the legislature. Please see below for

details. Please ACT today, your call, email and visit COUNTS! ~, NYAVC

A bill to require meningitis vaccine for 7th graders and ALL college students is

gaining momentum in Albany!

Bill S7156 passed the Senate Health Committee and is due for a floor vote.

Bill A10313 will be voted on the Assembly Health Committee any given Tuesday.

We have to FLOOD The Assembly & Senate with calls and e-mails. They must vote

`no' on Bill S7156 and A10313

ASK FOR A CALL BACK

This bill is only steps away from LAW. We need to stop it. Our lawmakers will

listen to these reasons:

* There is NO meningitis health `emergency'. Why the extreme measure?

* Less that .005% of the entire US contracts the disease yearly.

* Mandatory shots cost MILLION$$$. NY is $9.2B in debt. Financial pain is

everywhere. We're increasing our burden?

* There is nothing stopping people from getting the shot right now.

* The vaccine does not address all strains.

* The vaccine can contain mercury-filled thimerosal

That is odd to require a vaccine for something we have a treatment for. I had

meningitis when I was three months old (the fatal kind...back then they called

it spinal meningitis). I was treated, then, with chloromycetin and I lived (also

regained sight and hearing). There are other antibiotic treatments, today, for

meningitis. I think a better law would be mandatory education on recognizing

various diseases, like meningitis, as well as prevention and treatment protocol.
