Referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. (text: CR S6650)
This Senate resolution expresses strong support for vaccination and condemns recent actions it characterizes as anti-vaccine. The resolution criticizes Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for dismissing members of the independent vaccine advisory committee at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and opposes Florida's decision to eliminate school immunization requirements. The resolution emphasizes that vaccines have prevented hundreds of millions of illnesses and millions of deaths, and that high vaccination rates protect vulnerable populations who cannot be vaccinated. The Senate calls for vaccines to remain accessible and affordable, opposes politicization of vaccine advisory committees, and supports public health decisions based on scientific evidence. No funding or implementation timeline is specified, as this is a non-binding resolution expressing the Senate's position rather than legislation that creates law or directs government action.
