State Rep. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland, confirmed that he’s ordered up a bill to eliminate a provision of Oregon law that allows parents to forego vaccinations for their kids because of religious or philosophical reasons. 

Gov. Kate Brown suggested earlier Thursday that she’s open to legislation like Greenlick is preparing.  “I think we’re probably going to tighten the law around Oregon’s immunization strategy,” Brown said.

Contact your Oregon State Legislators and ask them not to support any legislation to further restrict or eliminate the philosophical exemption to vaccination in Oregon.  Share with them your personal story and why vaccine exemptions are so important to your family.
