Legislation prohibiting the Kentucky Department of Education from requiring COVID vaccinations for school attendance is before the full House. The bill got backing Thursday from the House Health Services Committee. Shawn McPherson is a representative from Scottsville. McPherson said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could recommend COVID shots for school students and the DOE follow that suggestion.
“And so, if they did that, we would be out of session. They could require that every child in the State of Kentucky have a COVID shot before they go back to school next fall. This bill prohibits that,” said McPherson.
