Bill > J01396

This resolution urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate April 24-30, 2026, as Immunization Week in New York State. The resolution highlights that vaccines are a significant public health achievement, preventing millions of deaths annually by combating serious diseases like polio, smallpox, pneumonia, rotavirus, measles, and hepatitis B, among others. It also acknowledges recent outbreaks of diseases like measles and whooping cough, partly attributed to misinformation about vaccine safety, and emphasizes the importance of promoting immunization to protect the health of children and the general public. A copy of this resolution will be sent to the Governor.
