I support this bill because I think vaccines are an extremely important health promotion tool and if a patient is paying for health care coverage, they should automatically be entitled to receive the childhood vaccines as part of their premium, with no copay or out-of-pocket expenses. Childhood vaccines are offered free of charge at most county health departments, so why should a person with coverage have to pay anything out of pocket?
