Abstract

The bill would require all female students entering sixth grade to be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus. Exceptions were provided for children whose parents objected on religious grounds. The bill would have also suspended the vaccination requirement in cases of insufficient supplies of the human papillomavirus vaccine. The bill would have left unchanges requirements that schools keep records of the immunizations and report to the Department of Human Resources annually.
