Christina Martin | Oppose HB1219

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner and have the honor to both work locally (NH) as an Infectious Disease & International Health provider and internationally, with the organization Medecins sans Frontieres/Doctors without Borders. I have seen firsthand the devastating effects of vaccine preventable diseases, including witnessing children dying from tetanus, measles, meningitis and/or living with lifelong disabling conditions from measles and polio. These diseases are real and devastating yet are safely avoidable with vaccines and vaccine mandates. Please do NOT repeal vaccine requirements for children in the state of New Hampshire.
