Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said the decision to vaccinate children against COVID-19 should be left to parents.
On Thursday, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory board voted to add the COVID-19 vaccine to children’s immunization schedules , with states choosing whether it will be required for entry to schools and preschool.
“COVID-19 mandates should be in our rear view mirror,” Youngkin tweeted late Thursday. “The decision to vaccinate a child against COVID-19 is for Virginia parents to make about what’s best for them and their family. We will not adhere to these @CDCgov mandates.”
