The legislature has officially withdrawn these mandates after reviewing the concerns raised by this effort. This outcome serves as a testament to the importance of parental authority in medical and educational decisions. Please remain observant to ensure these policies do not return in future sessions.

We are concerned New Yorkers taking a stand against legislation that would mandate HPV and flu vaccines for children in order to attend school, that would allow minors to receive vaccinations without parental knowledge or consent, that would require doctors to submit their medical recommendations for approval by the Department of Health bureaucrats, and would mandate controversial sexuality education beginning as early as kindergarten.
Currently, parents, in consultation with their doctors, make health decisions. With full access to important health history and trusted medical advice, parents consider the risks and benefits of each vaccine and make an informed decision. Doctors decide when a given vaccine is contraindicated. Sex education already exists in New York schools. Further mandates on the topic of sexuality education are uncalled for and usurp parental discretion and authority.
We, the undersigned, urge our elected officials to oppose:
- S298b/A2912a, which mandates the controversial HPV shot for all children born after January 1, 2009 in order to attend school in NY;
- S2276/A2316, which mandates an annual flu shot for all babies and children in order to attend daycare, preschool, and school K-12 in NY;
- S3899a/A973a, which grants health care practitioners the right to give babies and children Hep B and HPV vaccines (and any other vaccines approved for the treatment of sexually transmitted viruses/diseases) without their parent’s knowledge or consent;
- S4244c/A6564c, which grants health care practitioners the right to administer any vaccine approved by the Department of Health to minors 14+ years old without their parent’s knowledge or consent;
- A7838, which interferes with the doctor/patient relationship by requiring the Department of Health to approve medical exemptions from immunization requirements;
- A099, which allows for forced vaccination and medical treatment under certain circumstances and allows for the detainment of perceived health threats;
- S4844/A6512, which mandates sexuality instruction for students beginning in kindergarten based on the controversial National Sexuality Education Standards; and
- S791/A1904, which also mandates sexuality education, but begins in first grade.
The proposed mandates trample parental rights, risk the health of our children, violate the doctor/patient relationship, take away medical freedom and informed consent, and entrust schools with instruction that properly belongs within the family.

Please let me decide what is best for my children. I do alot of research to determine what is best for our family.
There should be NO mandate for a vaccine for a sexually transmitted disease. Period. Leave that CHOICE to the parents. The flu vaccination has pitiful effectiveness track record and is a guessing game every year. Again leave these decisions against non fatal illnesses to the parents. Thank you.
Parents have the right to make these decisions for their children. Some kids can't receive vaccinations because of allergies/health issues. Do not make this mandatory!
These bills are an example of major government overreach. There should NEVER be mandates on ANY medical procedure! Where there is risk, there must be choice!
These bills violate parental rights and bodily autonomy rights & fly in the face of what the United States of America stands for.
I am just appalled. Seriously. Also, TERRIFIED. This is overreach by a dangerous Govenor hellbent on power and DICKtatorship. You will NOT vaccinate me and ESPECIALLY NOT MY CHILDREN. Unconstitutional! WRONG!
Parents should preserve the right to choice what shots their children get. The PHARMA is getting out of control

I am against government taking my parental rights away from me and forcing my children to get HPV vaccine that can make them sterile. How much money are the politicians getting in kick backs from big pharma? I am not going to vote for you in the next election either, since you support this bill.
