New Jersey's Assembly on Monday passed a measure to eliminate religious exemptions for vaccines for schoolchildren, but the bill stalled in the state Senate as opponents shouted so loudly they drowned out the session.
If signed into law, the measure would end religious exemptions to required immunizations for public and private school children as well as for child care centers.
New Jersey would join a handful of states, including New York and California, in doing away with the religious exemption, if the bill becomes law. The New Jersey bill gained traction this year, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says has seen the greatest number of measles cases reported since 1992.Opponents argue that the measure infringes on their rights as parents to decide what's best for their children.
