Efforts Intensify Across States to Overturn Vaccine Mandates

A growing movement led by allies of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is making significant strides in various states to dismantle vaccine mandates for schoolchildren. Recent developments in New Hampshire have seen lawmakers advance proposals to eliminate the mandatory hepatitis B vaccination, aligning with broader calls to end public school vaccine requirements. The New Hampshire House has echoed this sentiment, pushing forward bills that advocate for the removal of vaccination requirements in schools. Vaccine skeptics are actively renewing their efforts to repeal existing vaccination mandates, not only in New Hampshire but also in three other states contemplating similar legislation. These initiatives come amid a nationwide effort to ban vaccine mandates altogether and challenge the perception that mandates are effective health policy, as highlighted by advocates like Rep. Jim Kofalt.
