NO. Please, no. I've been a nurse for 30 years. This bill will even further damage public health and medical care in NH. Vaccines save lives. If a person has a "religious opposition" to vaccines, they don't belong in health care, and it's ridiculous to tell medical facilities they have to let these people interact with patients, especially if they can't be required to mask and protect patients. If this passes, plenty of bad actors will test it. Much money will be spent on legal defense. Facilities might lose precious and dwindling medicaid dollars, and that will heavily impact the poorest and most vulnerable, and also affect anyone receiving health care services. Please, please, please stop trying to play doctor or god with our health care system. These ill-considered antivax bills will cause more harm than you can foresee. Don't want to get vaccinated? Okay, but that doesn't mean you should get legal protection to go out and infect the patient population - or proselytize your antivax agenda. Please kill this dangerous bill.
