The Washington 14th District Legislative contingent has mixed feelings about a bill that would remove philosophical opposition as an acceptable reason for parents not to vaccinate their school-age children.  Norm Johnson is on the House Health Care and Wellness Committee that heard the bill Tuesday, and he notes even if this passes religious and medical exemptions would exist.  Johnson said he believes “we have an obligation to protect children.”  Fellow House member Gina McCabe says she finds her constituents split on the issue, noting she supports the rights of parents to choose but feels children need to be kept safe.  Senator Curtis King says there are two sides to the issue, but he is concerned about the impact of young people who are not vaccinated on others.
