CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THEIR
RECOGNITION OF THE OBVIOUS IS A
REFRESHING CHANGE FROM THOSE
WHO WISH TO BURY THEIR HEADS IN
THE SAND WILL WORSE AND SPREAD
IS INFAMOUS INFORMATION ABOUT
JOHN AND JUNK SCIENCE.
THAT REALLY IS BEEN PART OF THE
PROBLEM WE'VE BEEN.
WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH LET ME
BE VERY CLEAR FOR EVERYBODY
HERE FASCINATIONS ARE SAFE.
DID THEORIES THAT WE'VE BEEN
HEARING FROM ANTI- VACCINES
BEEN DEBUNKED NUMEROUS TIMES?
AND IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE
PHYSICALLY ABLE TO RECEIVE THE
VACCINATIONS THEY DO SO THIS IS
THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT THE
HEALTH OF THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE
TO RECEIVE THE LIFE SAVING
BENEFITS.
THESE ARE INFANTS.
THE IMMUNOCOMPETENT LIES IN
THOSE WITH LEGITIMATE MEDICAL
ISSUES.
THOSE FOLKS AND ONES WHO CANNOT
GET THE- THE IT IMMUNIZATIONS
AND IS THERE A HWE TACTIC
THROUGH THE HURT IMMUNITY HERE
I MAY SHOOT HIM FOR OH, ZIP SHE
MADE IS EASY.
A PULLEY LIMITED SMALLPOX POLIO
DISEASE AT ONE STRUCK FEAR INTO
THE HEARTS OF PARENTS AND WE
HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT I.
REMEMBER, POLLY WAS A YOUNGSTER
AND OF JUST A MERE MENTION OF
POLIO, REALLY YOU PUT FEAR IN
PARENTS FACES HOWEVER, THROUGH
OUR ACTIONS IN ROCKLIN WE ARE
BROUGHT FOCUS TO WHAT NOW IS A
SHOCKING GLOBAL PROBLEM THE
RETURN OF A VEGETABLE ONCE A
RADICALLY DISEASE, TO WHAT
STATE AND TO ONE NATION WE ARE
IN A PITCHED BATTLE RIGHT NOW
IN MY COUNTY, WITH ONLY 11TH OF
A CENT OF THE ENTIRE
POPULATION.
THE COUNTRY WE HAVE 29 PERCENT
OF THE CASES OF MEASLES IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA QUOTED
YOU SF A MIXTURE OF
COMPLACENCY, MISINFORMATION,
SKEPTICISM ABOUT IMMUNIZATIONS
AND A LACK OF ACCESS.
THE SHOTS HAS LED TO AN
ADEQUATE VACCINATION RATES
GLOBALLY IT ESTIMATES BETWEEN
THE YEARS 2000 AND 10 AND 2017
DO YOU S. TOP THE LIST FOR THE
NUMBER OF OF UNVACCINATED
CHILDREN AT THE AMOUNT OF 2
MILLION 593000 CHILDREN WHO
HAVE MISSED THE 1ST DOSE OF THE
VACCINE?
THE COMPARABLE FIGURE IN FRANCE
IT WAS 8 600000, AND THE UNITED
KINGDOM CAME IN 3RD AT 520 7000
OF CHILDREN NOT GETTING THEIR
1ST VACCINE ONE MUST ASK THE
OBVIOUS QUESTION: HOW ON EARTH
DID THIS HAPPEN?
AS A STATE AND NATION WE MIGHT,
WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS NOW AND
I'M TALKING TO SEE THE ACTION
BEING TAKEN IN THE IS SET IT
AND THE ASSEMBLY HERE IN NEW
YORK STATE AROUND OUR COUNTRY
OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST TAKE
ACTION NATIONALLY TO INCREASE
VACCINATION RATES EITHER EITHER
THROUGH CONGRESSIONAL ACTION OR
PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE WATER
THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE NOT
TOMORROW, NOT KNOW WEEK.
NOT NO MONTH AND NOT IN A YEAR.
IT MUST BE DONE IMMEDIATELY THE
NUMBERS ARE GAINING STRENGTH A
FEW MONTHS AGO, THERE WAS NO
SUCH CONVERSATION ABOUT IN THE
IS OPERA, KING SEPT IN POCKETS
OF ROCKLIN COUNTY AND
WASHINGTON.

IMPORTANT ISSUE INTO THE FOLKS
REPRESENTING IRAQ THINK CARRIE
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.
ON THIS ISSUE, I, YOU KNOW AND
2014, WHEN I 1ST PICKED UP THIS
LEGISLATION FROM ASSEMBLY
MEMBER DANA WAITS WHO DESERVES
A GREAT DEAL OF CREDIT FOR ALL
OF HIS EFFORTS.
I THERE WAS NOW BREAKING
CALIFORNIA IN AROUND THE
DISNEYLAND RESORT.
WELL, THAT OUTBREAK WAS JUST
MORE THAN 100 CASES OF MEASLES
HERE.
NOW, AND NEW YORK STATE, WE
HAVE OVER 600 CASES OF MEASLES,
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK
IS THAT CALIFORNIA VERY
QUICKLY
MOVED TO ELIMINATE ALL NON-
MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS.
WE HAVE YET TO DO THAT HERE
IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND
THE CDC HAS JUST ANNOUNCED
TODAY THAT THE OUTBREAK THAT'S
OCCURRING NATIONWIDE IS THE
LARGEST IN ALMOST A QUARTER-
CENTURY.
WE HAVE TO GET A GRIP ON THIS
DISEASE, WE HAVE TO PUT SCIENCE
AHEAD OF SCIENCE FICTION I'M SO
PROUD OF MY COLLEAGUES IN THE
SENATE AND ASSEMBLY WHO ARE
PUSHING BACK ON THE ANTI-
VACCINATION WHO ARE PEDDLING
THEIR JUNK SCIENCE, WHO ARE
MISLEADING PARENTS WHO ARE
ENDANGERING NOT ONLY THAT THEIR
CHILDREN BUT OTHER PEOPLE'S
CHILDREN THE COURT CASES ARE
CLEAR DATING BACK TO THE EARLY
PART OF THE CENTURY,
YOU HAVE.
A 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO
PRACTICE YOUR OWN RELIGION.
BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT
TO ENDANGER YOUR CHILDREN OR
WORSE OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN
IT'S TIME THAT WE END ALL NON-
MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS IN THE STATE
OF NEW YORK AND AGAIN, THANK
YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP.
NEXT WE'LL HEAR FROM OUR LEAD
SPONSOR IN THE ASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLY WHEN DENOTES
THANK YOU.
I'M SOME WOMEN JEFFREY DANA
WHAT'S I?
REPRESENT THE NORTHWEST BRONX
THE WORLD IS ROUNDS.
IT'S NOT FLAT EVOLUTION IS A
REALITY.
IT'S NOT SOME CRAZY THEORY
CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, IT'S
NOT FAKE NEWS AND VACCINATION
SAVE LIVES.
VACCINATIONS WORK THAT'S THE
ENTIRE HISTORY OF ACCENT.
ASIANS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
LIVES HAVE BEEN SAVED.
I WAS TALKING WITH A FRIEND OF
MINE RECENTLY AND I DON'T KNOW
THIS 3 YEARS BEFORE HE WAS BORN
HIS OLDER SISTER DIED FROM THE
MEASLES, MEASLES CAN KILL,
MEASLES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT
HARM.
BLINDNESS, DEAFNESS BRAIN
DAMAGE IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT
IN THIS DAY AND AGE, IN THE
21ST CENTURY,
THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE
WHO WAS SPREADING LIES WHO
SPREADING MISINFORMATION ABOUT
VACCINATIONS EVERYBODY SHOULD
BE VACCINATED IF THE PERCENTAGE
OF PEOPLE VACCINATED GO WAS
BELOW A CERTAIN RATE THAT'S
WHEN DISEASES LIKE THE MEASLES
CAN SPREAD AND WE HAVE TO STOP
THIS WITH FACING AN EMERGENCY.
NOW AND WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THE
EMERGENCY IN MANY WAYS BUT ONE
OF THE WAYS IS LEGISLATIVELY WE
HAVE TO PASS THIS LEGISLATION
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ENTIRE
STATE KNOWS OF THE IMPORTANCE
OF VACCINATIONS.
THAT THEY SHOULD GET THEIR
CHILDREN VACCINATED.
AND WE ALSO HAVE TO PASS THE
LEGISLATION TO ELIMINATE ALL
NON- MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS FOR
VACCINATIONS THERE WAS NO
REASON THAT ANYBODY WHO WANTS
TO SEND THE CHILD TO SCHOOL
SHOULD NOT HAVE THEIR CHILD
ACCENTUATED NOW IF YOU DON'T
WANT TO DO IT TO PROTECT HER
OWN CHILD, YOU SHOULD DO IT TO
PROTECT OTHER CHILDREN, BECAUSE
THERE ARE CHILDREN OUT THERE
WHO CAN'T GET VACCINATED FOR
MEDICAL REASONS, THOSE AT THE
EXEMPTIONS THAT SHOULD REMAIN
NOBODY ELSE'S LIFE SHOULD BE IN
DANGER BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN
WHAT IS NONSENSE.
AND THE ONLY STUDY THAT EVER
SHOWED THAT MEASLES THAT THE
VACCINATION CAN CAUSE HARM HAS
WAS THE BUNK OVER 20 YEARS AGO.
YET THERE WERE PEOPLE OUT THERE
FANATICALLY WHO STILL BELIEVE
THIS WE HAVE TO PASS THIS
LEGISLATION AND I JUST WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUES IN BOTH THE
SENATE AND THE ASSEMBLY FOR
SUPPORTING THIS THIS WILL SAVE
LIVES WILL NEVER KNOW HOW MANY.
BUT THIS WILL SAVE LIVES.
THANK YOU.
SO NEXT WE'LL HEAR FROM A SILLY
WOMAN.
ELLEN JAFFE
HIS DENTAL, WHAT I THINK MY
COLLEAGUES, AND FOR THEIR
LEADERSHIP AND IT MOVING
FORWARD WITH THIS IS SENSUAL, A
PIECE OF LEGISLATION AND- AND
ACTION I REPRESENT SO MANY OF
OUR YOUTH IN ROCKLIN COUNTY AND
THE NUMBERS OF THOSE WHO HAVE
NOW HAVE THE MEASLES HAS
INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPACTING THEIR LIVES AS WELL
AS SO MANY OTHERS IN THE
COMMUNITY.
AND I FEEL RESPONSIBLE, VERY
RESPONSIBLE 2?
TO MOVE FORWARD TO ASSURE
THAT THAT WE ARE MOVING WITH,
WE ARE RESPONDING WITH HEALTH
INITIATIVES THAT ARE THE BEST
INTERESTS OF THOSE OF EVERYONE
IN NEW YORK, ESPECIALLY OUT
CHILDREN AS A FORMER EDUCATOR,
I CAN TELL YOU HOW A SENSUAL IT
IS TO BE TO ASSURE THAT OUR
CHILDREN ARE PROTECTED AND AND
PROVIDED THE IMMUNIZATION TO
ASSURE THAT THEY CAN MOVE
FORWARD WITHOUT BEING
NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THE BY
WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO THEM ON
THEIR IN THEIR HEALTH.
IMMUNIZATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL IN
PREVENTING THE OUTBREAK OF
HARMFUL BACTERIA AND VIRUSES IN
KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY HEALTHY
AND SAFE WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT
STRIDES AS EMOTION TO PROTECT
AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF
FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES BY
ELIMINATING AND CONTROLLING
MANY LIFE THREATENING
ILLNESSES.
IMMUNIZATIONS HAS PLAYED A
CRITICAL ROLE IN THIS PROCESS,
AND THAT'S WHY I SUPPORT THIS
LEGISLATION.
MOVE AS FORWARD, WE FORWARD TO
OUR CHILDREN SAFE TO ASSURE
THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE AND
A FAMILY SO SAFE WELL I BELIEVE
IN PRAY PATEK DING THE 1ST
AMENDMENT RIGHT TO FREELY
PRACTICE ONES RELIGION AND IN
PERSONAL CHOICE AND INDIVIDUALS
RIGHTS MUST BE BALANCED BY THE
PUBLIC RESPONSIBILITY TO
PROTECT THE HEALTH OF THE
ENTIRE POPULATION ESPECIALLY
THEIR OWN CHILDREN AND THE
CHILDREN DAYS THEY SOCIALIZE
WITH, AND EVEN PERHAPS SOME
PREGNANT WOMEN THAT THEY
SOCIALIZE WITH WHO MAY BE
EXPOSED TO ME, SONGS AND OTHER
ILLNESSES IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
PEOPLE TAKE THIS OUTBREAK
SERIOUSLY AND GET VACCINATED TO
PROTECT THOSE WHO CAN'T HE
VACCINATED FOR A VARIETY OF
HEALTH REASONS INCLUDING IF YOU
HAVE CANCER OR THEY AFFORD, YOU
KNOW YOU DEPENDING ON OTHERS TO
BE VACCINATED AS WELL.
AND RATHER THAN BEING EXPOSED
TO THOSE WHO, WITH COMPROMISED
IMMUNE SYSTEMS THEY ARE ALSO
VERY ENDANGERED PREGNANT WOMEN
AND INFANTS YOU'RE OUT THERE
AND YOU HAVE A VACCINATED, AND
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO
MEASLES, AND YOU'RE NOW
EXPOSING INFANTS TO YOUNG, TO
BE VACCINATED THAT AND CHANGERS
THEM THEY DESERVE THE RIGHT TO
BE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY WITHOUT
COMPROMISING THEIR OWN HEALTH
AND WELL BEING WHEN I THINK
EVERYBODY FOR COMING TOGETHER
TO RESPOND TO THIS, IT IS SO
IMPORTANT IT IS ABOUT
PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN IT IS
ABOUT PROTECTING OUR FAMILIES
WE CANNOT STEP BACK WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD THANK
YOU.
NEXT WE'LL HEAR FROM SENATOR
JAMES WHO FITS.
THANKS.
DAVID AND THANKS TO SENATOR
CARLUCCI AND MY SENATE,
ESSENTIALLY, COLLEAGUES, FOR
REALLY CHAMPIONING THIS WHEN I
WAS IN SCHOOL, GROWING UP
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MIDDLE
SCHOOL I GREW UP ON A COMPUTER
GAME WE GO TO LAB CALLED OREGON
TRAIL AND AS YOU'RE HEADING
OUT, WEST YOU'RE A CARAVAN,
WOULD SOMETIMES CONTRACT ALL OF
THESE DISEASES FROM SMALLPOX TO
POLIO.
AS WAS MENTIONED BEFORE, I TO
MEET ALSO.
AND NEVER IN 1 MILLION YEARS
BEFORE THIS OUTBREAK DID I
THINK I'D BE UP HERE AS A STATE
LEGISLATOR?
HAVING A PRESS CONFERENCE WITH
MY COLLEAGUES TALKING ABOUT A
MEASLES OUTBREAK IN WHAT TO DO
ABOUT IT, THIS IS TO DOUSE IN
19.
BUT YET HERE WE ARE LET ME BE
CLEAR THERE IS NOT ONE
RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION NOT ONE
SINGLE ONE THAT DENOUNCES
VACCINES SO HERE WE HAVE A
RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION PRETENDING
AS IF THERE IS SOME RELIGION
OUT THERE THAT HAS A PROBLEM
WITH VACCINES THIS BILL IS VERY
SIMPLE.
YES.
IF YOU'VE GOT A MEDICAL ISSUE
IF YOU HAVE A POOR IMMUNE
SYSTEM AND YOU CAN'T RECEIVE
VACCINES.
THAT IS ONE THING BUT WHETHER
YOU'RE CHRISTIAN, WHETHER
YOU'RE JEWISH, WHETHER YOU'RE A
SCIENTOLOGIST NONE OF THESE
RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS, NONE OF
THEM HAVE RELIGIOUS TEXTS OR
DOGMA THAT DENOUNCE VACCINES
LET'S AS A STATE STOP
PRETENDING LIKE THEY DO THIS IS
ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR
CHILDREN, AND THIS IS ABOUT
IMMEDIACY COUNTY EXECUTIVE THAT
DAY MENTION THIS THIS IS AN
IMMEDIATE CRISIS BECAUSE YOU
THINK IT'S BAD NOW,
IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS,
EVERYONE'S ON SUMMER VACATION
EVERYONE'S ON SUMMER BREAK AND
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE INFECTED
CHILDREN INFECTED FAMILIES
TRAVELING ALL AROUND THE STATE
ALL AROUND THIS COUNTRY IN
FACT, IN OTHER NEW YORKERS AND
AMERICANS WE HAVE TO ACT NOW I
THINK MY COLLEAGUES SENATOR.
NEXT WE'LL HEAR FROM A SELLER
IN KEN'S WERE ASKING THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
MY COLLEAGUES JUST HIT ME IF I
SAY SOMETHING SOMEBODY ELSE
CENTER AT A PALM.
IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE WITH MY
COLLEAGUE TO TALK ABOUT THIS
IMPORTANT ISSUE.
FOR A LONG TIME SOME SCHOOLS
IN SOME DISTRICTS WOULD TREAT
THE RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION VERY
STRICTLY I WOULD MEET WITH
SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICIALS AND
THEY WOULD REQUIRE
DOCUMENTATION BUT THE PROBLEM
IS THAT OTHERS WOULD NOT AND
THAT'S WHAT'S KIND OF GOTTEN US
TO THIS EPIDEMIC IN ROCKLIN
COUNTY.
I WANT TO THANK COUNTY
EXECUTIVE DAY AND- AND OUR
HEALTH COMMISSIONER FOR BEING
HERE WITH US TODAY AND ALL MY
COLLEAGUE, SENATOR CARLUCCI,
FOR PUTTING THIS ON SO NOW WE
HAVE AN EPIDEMIC IN ROCKLIN
COUNTY AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT
IT MEANS IT HOW IT COULD SPREAD
SO QUICKLY AND WHY WE NEED TO
DO EVERYTHING IN GOVERNMENT TO
PREVENT THIS FROM CONTINUING
AND BRENT THIS FROM HAPPENING
IN THE FUTURE.
I HAVE A 10- MONTH- OLD
DAUGHTER NOW BECAUSE OF THIS
EPIDEMIC I HAD TO GET HER AN
ADDITIONAL SHOTS AT 6 MONTHS.
NOW, THAT'S JUST A BOOSTER
SHOT.
SO WHO KNOWS WHETHER SHE'S
FULLY IMMUNIZE NOW OR NOT?
BUT WE'RE GOING THROUGH WHAT?
THE PEDIATRICIANS ARE TELLING
US WHAT TO DO.
SHE HAVE TO GET ANOTHER SHOT AT
ONE AND I THINK THEY UP THE 4
YEAR ONE TO LIKE A YEAR POINT 5
OR SO I SHOULD LOOK TO OUR MY
HEALTH COMMISSIONER.
BUT LET'S JUST, THIS IS HOW IT
COULD SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL SO
QUICKLY RIGHT NOW, MY WIFE AND
I WE DON'T.
KNOW WHETHER OR NOT ON A
WEEKEND WE CAN BRING HER
SHOPPING.
CAN WE BRING HER TO THE MALL?
CAN WE BRING HER TO A PARK?
BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE
NEXT REPORT IS GOING TO SAY.
EVERY FEW WEEKS OR EVERY MONTH
OR SO, IT'S WAS ANYONE IN THIS
5 OR 6 HOUR PERIOD IN THIS
STORE AND THESE ARE WELL-
TRAVELED STORES IN PLACES IN
ROCKLIN COUNTY.
NOW, WHERE WE THERE AND DIDN'T
KNOW THE NEXT DAY, MY DAUGHTER
WOULD HAVE BEEN A DAYCARE AND
THEN 6 OR 8 OR 9 OTHER
CHILDREN.
WHO WERE TOO YOUNG TO BE
VACCINATED.
MAY SPREAD EVEN FURTHER AND
THEN DO THE MATH 6 MORE, 8,
MORE, 10 MORE.
SUDDENLY IT'S NOT THE 200 IT'S
1300 IT'S JUST CRAZY IT'S
INSANE WE ALL KNOW WHAT IS
HAPPENING HERE IN OUR IN OUR
CORNER OF THE STATE AND IT'S
HAPPENING IN OTHER PARTS OF THE
STATE, AND IT IS INCUMBENT UPON
US, AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, TO DO
WHAT'S NECESSARY IN ORDER
PRETTY TO PROTECT SOCIETY AND
PROTECT ALL OUR CHILDREN.
ALL PEOPLE IN THIS STATE AND
THAT'S WHY I'M SUPPORTING THIS
MEASURE THANK YOU.
SOMEONE AND NEXT WE'LL HEAR
FROM.
OUR ROCKLIN COUNTY
COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH.
DOCTOR SHOW WILL GROUPER
HI, I'M DOCTOR PATRICIA NAVAL
GROUP FOR THE COMMISSION OF
HEALTH ROCKLIN.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME HERE
TODAY.
BEFORE I SPEAK, I'M JUST
GOING TO TO RESPOND TO SUMMONS
A BRASS KEYS INFORMATION ABOUT
THE MMR JUST TO CLARIFY AS I
KNOW YOU WANTED ME TO DO SO
THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING THE 1ST
MMR IF IT'S YOUR CHILD IS
BETWEEN 6 AND 12 MONTHS FOR
THAT CHILD TO GET THAT VACCINE
ORALLY AND HE'S RIGHT.
WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH
IMMUNITY WILL THE CHILD WILL
HAVE AS A RESULT, BUT A 12
MONTHS OF AGE BETWEEN 12 AND 15
MONTHS AS A NORMAL 1ST DOSE OF
MMR AT 12 MONTHS OF AGE WERE
ASKING THE THE 1ST OFFICIAL MMR
AND THEN WHAT WE'RE DOING IS
NORMALLY WE WOULD HAVE THE 2ND
ADMINISTERED BETWEEN 4 AND 6
YEARS OF AGE, OR BEFORE
KINDERGARTEN, BUT AT THIS POINT
IN TIME, WE ARE RECOMMENDING
THAT OFFICIALS 2ND MMR TO BE
GIVEN 28 DAYS AFTER THE 1ST SO
THAT WOULD GIVE YOU KNOW, YOUR
DAUGHTER, THE OPPORTUNITY BY 13
MONTHS OR SO TO REALLY HAVE TO
FULL, AND THEN MARS ON BOARD
WITH THAT EARLY VACCINE, WHICH
IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA TO DO SO
WE'RE HERE TODAY BECAUSE IT IS
WORLD IMMUNIZATION WEEK, AS
WELL AS PEDIATRIC IMMUNIZATION
WEEK ROCKLIN COUNTY IS NOW
ENTERING OUR 8TH MONTH OF THE
MEASLES OUTBREAK, THE LONGEST
CURRENT OUTBREAK IN THE NATION
MY TEAM AT THE ROCKLIN COUNTY
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HAS GONE
ABOVE AND BEYOND IN OUR FIGHT
TO CONTROL AND CONTAIN THIS
OUTBREAK.
WE HAVE HELD DOZENS OF MMR
VACCINATION CLINICS AND
PERFORMED EDUCATION AND
OUTREACH WE CONTINUE TO
INVESTIGATE AND PERFORM CONTACT
TRACING OF EACH AND EVERY CASE
OF MEASLES IN ORDER TO PROTECT
OUR COMMUNITY WE HAVE SEEN
GREAT SUCCESS FROM THESE
EFFORTS WITH 19422 MMR
VACCINATIONS GIVEN IN ROCKLIN
SINCE THE START OF THE OUTBREAK
IN OCTOBER OF 2018 YET THIS
DISEASE CONTINUES TO SPREAD AND
IN DANGER THE LIVES OF CHILDREN
AND ADULTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
THAT IS WHY I AM HERE TODAY
ADVOCATING FOR THE ELIMINATION
OF RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS AS THE
NEXT LOGICAL STEP IN PROTECTING
THE PUBLIC HEALTH IN
CALIFORNIA, DURING THE 2000
1415 SCHOOL YEAR, ONLY 90.4
PERCENT OF KINDERGARTNERS IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS WERE FULLY
IMMUNIZED.
WELL, BELOW THE 95 PERCENT RATE
THAT IS NEEDED FOR MEASLES TO
FOR US TO HAVE WHAT WE CALL
HEARD, IMMUNITY WILL COMMUNITY
IMMUNITY SAME THING THAT'S THE
PROTECTION FROM CONTAGIOUS
DISEASE THAT IT INDIVIDUAL
BENEFITS FROM AS A RESULT OF
LIVING IN A COMMUNITY WHERE
CRITICAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE
VACCINATED, AND FOR ME, SO AS
WE LOOK TO THE NUMBER TO BE 95
PERCENT THANKFULLY CALIFORNIA
TOOK ACTION TO PREVENT AND
PROTECT FOR VENTURE THE DISEASE
AND PROTECT THE CHILDREN IN
THEIR STATE.
THEY PASSED THE BILL, WHICH WAS
SIGNED INTO LAW BACK IN 2015.
THIS LOT ELIMINATED PERSONAL
BELIEF EXEMPTIONS, ALLOWING
ONLY MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS GOING
FORWARD THIS LAW WORKED AS IT
WAS INTENDED IN THE 2000 1718
SCHOOL YEAR, 95.1 PERCENT OF
KINDERGARTNERS HAD ALL OF THEIR
IMMUNIZATIONS A 4.7 PERCENT
INCREASE THEY ALL HAVE ACHIEVED
HER TO MUNITY WE CAN DO THAT
HERE IN NEW YORK AS WELL.
THIS IS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF
ACTION.
THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN HERE.
IT IS A NECESSARY STEP TO
PROTECT THE HEALTH OF THE
PUBLIC AND TO PROTECT THE
HEALTH OF THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE
TO BE IMMUNIZED IN FENCED, THE
AMINO COMPROMISED ON IMMUNIZED
PREGNANT WOMEN AND THE SEVERELY
ILL- I SUPPORT THE ENDING OF
ALL NON- MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS
HERE IN NEW YORK STATE AND I
URGE OUR LAWMAKERS AND THE
GOVERNOR TO DO THE SAME THANK
YOU.
THEY'VE, COMMISSIONER AND WE
HAVE.
WE'VE BEEN LISTENING TO
ROCKLAND COUNTY OFFICIALS
SPEAKING IN ALBANY.
THEY'RE SUPPORTING LEGISLATION
THAT WOULD END RELIGIOUS
EXEMPTIONS TO VACCINATIONS SUCH
EXEMPTIONS ARE BELIEVED TO
PLAYED A ROLE IN THE CURRENT
OUTBREAK, WHERE MORE THAN 200
MEASLES CASES HAVE BEEN
REPORTED IN ROCKLIN COUNTY.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
FOLLOW THIS STORY OF THE
