A resolution condemning the extreme anti-vaccine policies of Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., strongly opposing the policies of the State of Florida that roll back immunization requirements, and expressing the sense of the Senate that vaccines are critical to protecting public health, eliminating preventable illness and death, and reducing hospitalizations and severity of illness, work best when adopted at a high level within each community, and must be made available to the public.
This non-binding Senate resolution (SRES 389) condemns Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s actions dismissing the CDC's independent Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and opposes Florida's 2025 policy rolling back school immunization requirements for children. It affirms that vaccines are critical for public health, preventable illness, and hospitalization reduction, and must be widely accessible at high community adoption rates. The resolution expresses the Senate's support for science-based vaccine policies, opposes politicizing medical recommendations, and emphasizes that vaccines should remain affordable and available through insurance and community settings like clinics and pharmacies. It does not create new laws but formally states the Senate's position against policies it views as endangering public health.
