While some states have adopted the federal recommendations through their own state and local health agencies, they retain the right to determine what vaccines are required for schoolchildren.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCOVID-19 mandates should be in our rear-view mirror,\u201d Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, who was elected a year ago on a wave of parental activism, said in a statement. \u201cThe decision to vaccinate a child against COVID-19 is for Virginia parents to make about what\u2019s best for them and their family. We will not adhere to these CDC mandates. In Virginia, parents matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">COVID-19 mandates should be in our rear view mirror. The decision to vaccinate a child against COVID-19 is for Virginia parents to make about what\u2019s best for them and their family. We will not adhere to these <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CDCgov?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CDCgov<\/a> mandates. <\/p>\n<p>In Virginia, parents matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Governor Glenn Youngkin (@GovernorVA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovernorVA\/status\/1583272988752781313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The CDC is widely expected to affirm the panel\u2019s recommendation and put the COVID vaccination on the schedule with other vaccines that have been thoroughly tested and in wide use for decades. Youngkin is one of at least 20 governors who have spoken out in recent days to assure worried parents that the COVID vaccine, which the CDC already recommends for children as young as 5, will not become a requirement for attending public school.<\/p>\n<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, whose state bucked the economically crippling pandemic shutdowns and who has been a vocal opponent of mask and vaccine mandates, likewise assured his constituents that COVID jabs will not be mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know a lot of parents are concerned about that because if that\u2019s on the immunization schedule, the fear is that schools could potentially mandate your child to get a COVID shot, even if that\u2019s not something that you want to do,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cSo I just want to let everyone be clear. You know, as long as I\u2019m around and as long as I\u2019m kicking and screaming there will be no Covid shot mandates for your kids. That is your decision to make as a parent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One example of a vaccine being added to the recommended schedule, but not being widely adopted by states is the HPV vaccine. Although it was added to the schedule in 2006, only Rhode Island and Washington, D.C., require it for school-age boys and girls, and Virginia requires it for girls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoving Covid-19 to the recommended immunization schedule does not impact what vaccines are required for school entrance, if any,\u201d Dr. Nirav Shah, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and a member of the advisory board, said at Thursday\u2019s meeting. \u201cLocal control matters. And we honor that the decision around school entrance for vaccines rests where it did before, which is with the state level, the county level, and at the municipal level if it exists at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Critics say young children are not in substantial danger of contracting serious cases of COVID and may in fact be more at risk from the mRNA vaccines themselves, which have been linked to myocarditis, or heart inflammation. And the recent revelation from a Pfizer executive that the vaccine was never tested to see if it prevented the spread of COVID has undermined the idea that children should be vaccinated in order to prevent them from infecting adults.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always said mandates are the wrong approach, &#038; TN has led in pushing back on federal COVID vaccine requirements,\u201d Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee tweeted. \u201cThanks to our work with the General Assembly, TN families won\u2019t be impacted by today\u2019s CDC vote. We\u2019ll continue to stand for TN children &#038; for personal freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem said no mandatory COVID vaccines will be coming to her state\u2019s public schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a mother and a grandmother, I will not allow this government overreach into our families\u2019 personal decisions,\u201d Norm tweeted. \u201cAnd as Governor, I will do everything in my power to fight against this for our kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other GOP governors rushing to assured voters and parents that the pending CDC decision will not affect their kids included Kay Ivey, of Alabama; Asa Hutchinson, of Arkansas; Brian Kemp, of Georgia; Brad Little, of Idaho; Kim Reynolds, of Iowa; Mike Parson, of Missouri; Greg Gianforte, of Montana; Mike DeWine, of Ohio; Kevin Stitt, of Oklahoma; Henry McMaster, of South Carolina; Spencer Cox, of Utah; and Mark Gordon, of Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashp.org\/states-enact-policies-to-support-students-transition-back-to-school\/\">National Academy for State Health Policy<\/a>\u00a0lists 20 states that have<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican governors throughout the nation are rushing to assure parents that young children will not be required to get COVID vaccines despite a looming, likely CDC decision to put the jab on a list of immunizations recommended for schoolchildren.
