Oklahoma governor vetoes bill requiring vaccine information
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has vetoed a bill which would require doctors who give vaccines to provide a government-issued benefit and risk information pamphlet.
According to Modernhealthcare.com, Fallin felt the information which would have been provided would be inconsequential to the service.
In a veto message released late Friday, Fallin said the bill is an unfunded mandate that would have required doctors to provide consumers with some “irrelevant and obsolete information.” Fallin says Oklahoma’s vaccination rate has fallen from 94% in 2006 to 90%, increasing the risk of an outbreak in Oklahoma. She says the bill likely would have led to a further decrease in vaccinations in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma’s vaccine rate continues to decline as recent numbers show it at 90%. Oklahomans continue to reject the idea of vaccines. Fallin is also rumored to be in consideration for Donald Trump’s Vice President position.
