Half of the Republicans in the Iowa House are co-sponsoring a bill that would prevent schools and child care centers from requiring children be vaccinated against COVID-19. The prohibition would end in 2029, but Representative Henry Stone of Forest City says the bill may be changed, so the policy would be permanent. Stone and Representative Skyler Wheeler of Orange City are members of the House subcommittee that advanced the bill Tuesday, saying it should be parents’ decision whether to get their kids immunized against deadly diseases or not.
