Greenwood Village, CO — Heidi Ganahl, Colorado Republican Gubernatorial Candidate, has stated unequivocally that she will NOT require COVID-19 vaccinations for any child, regardless of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations.
Today, the CDC’s independent advisory committee, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), will vote on whether to recommend updating the childhood immunization schedule to include the COVID vaccine. Regardless of their decision, and the possible recommendation of the CDC, Ganahl wants it made clear that, as governor, she will NOT mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for Colorado schools.
“This is a decision that should be left to parents. As governor, I will not require a COVID-19 vaccination to attend Colorado schools. Despite what he says now, Jared Polis mandated and quarantined our children. I will leave important decisions like this to parents. Polis pressured local boards and school districts to do his dirty work so he could claim he was against mandates. We need honesty and transparency in our government,” says Ganahl.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, we saw a vicious cycle of finger pointing between the CDC and governors like Polis. The CDC issued onerous health “recommendations” and said states were free to implement them. States locked down and forced mandates by pointing to the CDC. Ganahl will stand firm and be a voice for parents and children.
