KIDS' VACCINE BILL PASSES COLORADO HOUSE

Colorado lawmakers are set to give final approval to a bill that would allow state childhood vaccine recommendations to rely on findings from organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics amid a shift of federal guidelines on what immunizations are appropriate for kids, Colorado Newsline reports.

Senate Bill 26-32 passed the House on Monday on a party-line vote. It passed the Senate the same way in early February.

“Vaccines have put diseases like polio in the history books, but we are at risk of losing decades of progress in the current uncertain federal times,” Rep. Kyle Brown, a Louisville Democrat, said on the House floor last week.
