Lynn Lippitt | Oppose HB1671

Dear Committee Members, I strongly oppose HB1671. Vaccines provide protection for the most vulnerable - infants, frail elderly, and people with autoimmune diseases - by providing herd immunity. Facilities must be able to protect their workers and the people they serve by requiring vaccinations. Withholding Medicaid funds because a facility requires vaccinations will result in much harm. How much harm is unknown but the potential for unintended consequences is great. I urge you to please vote no on HB1671. Thank you, Lynn Lippitt
