Immunization Victory! New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed legislation Thursday, June 13, 2019, to end religious exemptions for vaccines. The legislation comes as the U.S. grapples with one of its worst outbreaks of measles in years.
Cuomo signed the bill almost immediately after the New York state Senate and Assembly advanced the measure. "The science is crystal clear: Vaccines are safe, effective and the best way to keep our children safe.

The governor's office argued that this measure would help protect the public amid an ongoing measles outbreak. - 2019 Marijuana Statement
