A bill has been introduced in the NY state Senate to create a statewide database of the immunization records of all minors living in the state of NY. This new database of what should be private medical information will then we made available to local officials to harrass families about the tough medical decisions that they have made in private. This bill represents an unwarranted intrusions in the provate medical decisions of families. You can read the text of the bill here:

I am very alarmed by this bill, and I have written to my NY senator. If you live in NY, please take time to contact your Senator and voice your opposition to this bill. Private information about the medical histories of our children, any part of it, should remain in complete control of parents to provide to others at their descretion. This bill takes that privacy and control away from families. The vote is planned for Thursday, June 22nd. You can find your local Senator's contact information using this website: [
