Basic Info on the Proposed Rule Changes:
The Hawaii Department of Health has announced island-wide hearings on proposed rule changes to include NEW VACCINE REQUIREMENTS for Hawaii’s children. (See links at right for official documentation.) Some of the proposed changes include:
HPV and Meningococcal vaccine for all seventh graders
Influenza vaccine for all young children [see Exhibit A, Table 1 in the link]
Hepatitis A vaccine for all children
Additional dose of MMR for post-secondary school attendance and Meningococcal vaccine for all first-year students living in on-campus housing
Enhanced reporting requirements for health practitioners and schools
Enhanced reporting requirements for medical and religious exemptions
Blanket adoption of recommendations from Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [ACIP] as they are approved [see this video for a shining example of ACIP’s abhorrent and negligent decision-making process in action; see also in this link, watch ACIP vote on its new vaccine schedule recommendations, unanimously–immediately after hearing the impassioned comments and criticisms by members of the public at their latest meeting]
