Representative Nancy Barto and Senator Paul Boyer, both Republicans, co-sponsored the three anti-vaccine bills.
Ducey says “vaccinations are good for our kids”
On Wednesday, during the Grand Canyon Park centennial celebration at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza, Ducey expressed his position regarding vaccinations, according to AZ Central.
Ducey said, “Traditionally, I don’t comment on bills that are moving through the Legislature. But because this involves public health, I think it’s important for people to know that we are pro-vaccination in the state of Arizona. Vaccinations are good for our kids and helpful for public health.”
Additionally, the governor emphasized that he will not sign into law any bill that will put public health at risk. He will not approve any bill that does not encourage vaccination.
Furthermore, Ducey stated, “We want to see more of our kids being vaccinated, rather than fewer. I’m pro-vaccination, I’m anti-measles.” He went on to say, “I want to see fewer people being exposed to measles and the other things that we’ve spent decades through research and development in the medical industry and health care making our country a better place and safer place to live.”
