Colorado Senator Lindsey Daugherty’s Legislation to Ensure the State can Rely on Trusted Vaccination Recommendations

Idea Category: Healthcare

Colorado Senator Lindsey Daugherty has championed legislation that ensures the state can rely on trusted vaccination recommendations when federal guidance is undermined or overhauled. At a time when misinformation threatens community health, Daugherty’s leadership will help protect science-based vaccine guidance and safeguard kids and families. “For months, physicians have been fearful about what vaccine recommendations will come down from the federal government,” said Daugherty. “Secretary Kennedy has been a longtime skeptic of vaccines and consistently chooses misinformation over science. Given his influence and the uncertainty in DC, we knew that we needed to take action to put science first and protect Colorado’s best interests. This legislation ensures that whatever happens federally, Colorado will continue to rely on scientific data that protects Colorado kids and builds healthier communities for us all.”
