Dear Friend,
America is currently experiencing a public health crisis, as many Americans are unvaccinated or not fully up to date with their vaccines. As a result, we have seen outbreaks of diseases like measles which had previously been eradicated.
Thankfully, Oregon is looking to do something about this problem. House Bill 3063 was recently introduced and passed the Oregon House of Representatives, and now awaits consideration by the Oregon Senate. This bill would remove the ability for parents to decline required immunizations against diseases on behalf of their child for reasons other than medical considerations. Essentially, if this bill becomes law, all religious and philosophical exemptions from vaccine requirements would be removed, and only medical exemptions would remain.
Can you take a moment right now to ask your State Senator to support this important bill?
As humanists, we have a responsibility to support sound medical and scientific practices which benefits the public’s health, which is why this bill is so important. Ask your State Senator to support vaccinations for all today!
Thank you for helping keep our children safe from preventable illnesses.
Sincerely,
Roy Speckhardt
Executive Director
