Leaving the Herd RETHINKING NEW YORK’S APPROACH TO COMPULSORY VACCINATION INTRODUCTION The debate over mandatory vaccination laws in the United States persists, fueled by outbreaks of preventable diseases, concern over the efficacy of vaccination, and the continuing development of new vaccines.1 The dispute demands striking a proper balance between the state’s legitimate interest in maintaining the health of its citizens and the right of parents to control the health of their children. Vaccination programs have continuing importance in the world of public health. Infectious disease can still pose a challenge despite high levels of vaccination among American communities. In 2010, for instance, California experienced one of the worst outbreaks of pertussis (more commonly known as whooping cough) in several decades, resulting in 9,120 illnesses and the death of 10 infants who were too young to receive the vaccine.2 Pertussis is highly contagious and quickly spreads throughout communities.

Negative Portrayal of Vaccines by Commercial Websites: Tortious Misrepresentation Donald C. Arthur 11 U. MASS. L. REV. 122 ABSTRACT Commercial website publishers use false and misleading information to create distrust of vaccines by claiming vaccines are ineffective and contain contaminants that cause autism and other disorders. The misinformation has resulted in decreased childhood vaccination rates and imperiled the public by allowing resurgence of vaccine-preventable illnesses. This Article argues that tort liability attaches to publishers of commercial websites for foreseeable harm that results when websites dissuade parents from vaccinating their children in favor of purchasing alternative products offered for sale on the websites.

Compulsory Vaccination in the United States: Ethics, Regulations, and Recommendations
COMPULSORY VACCINATION IN THE UNITED STATES: ETHICS, REGULATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS Ariella R. Noorily TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 11, 2017 Jason Upton, Ph.D. Department of Molecular Biosciences Supervising Professor Janet Davis, Ph.D. Department of American Studies, Plan II Honors Program Second Reader ABSTRACT Author: Ariella R. Noorily Title: Compulsory Vaccination in the United States: Ethics, Regulations, and Recommendations Supervising Professor: Jason Upton, Ph.D. Infectious diseases such as poliomyelitis, smallpox, and Hib used to pose a significant threat to the population of the United States. Thanks to the advent of vaccinations, many of these dangerous diseases have been almost or completely eradicated in America and around the world. However, as the rates of infectious diseases decrease, anti-vaccine sentiment becomes more popular. There are many reasons for parents to refuse to vaccinate their children, but vaccine hesitancy of any kind jeopardizes America’s maintenance of immunity and health. Therefore, although personal autonomy is an important principle in a democratic society, the United States government has an ethical duty to enact vaccination policy in order to prevent outbreaks of disease and to ensure the safety of the population at large. This thesis will explore the many ethical issues associated with a compulsory vaccination program in the United States. Based on research about the science of vaccines, reasons for vaccine hesitancy, current United States policy, and utilitarian philosophy, a set of guidelines for an effective vaccine mandate will be proposed. These guidelines consist of five main criteria, all of which vaccination policy must follow in order to be considered ethical.

Litigating Alternative Facts: School Vaccine Mandates in the Courts
LITIGATING ALTERNATIVE FACTS: SCHOOL VACCINE MANDATES IN THE COURTS Dorit Rubinstein Reiss* ABSTRACT In June 2015, California’s governor signed into law SB277, which removed the personal belief exemption to school immunization requirements, making medical exemptions the only valid way to send an unvaccinated child in the affected categories to school. Naturally, vaccine-hesitant parents opposed the legislation. After their efforts failed in the legislature, they turned to the courts, raising arguments old and new. To date, opponents have filed five lawsuits against the new California law, all of which have failed. This Article explains why courts in the United States, which have consistently upheld school immunization requirements, are correct to do so. These requirements are supported by strong policy reasons and serve a compelling interest, since they dramatically reduce the risk of outbreaks of potentially deadly diseases. These mandates fit with our basic principles of state police power, reasonable limits on individual rights, and protecting children. They are also supported by over a hundred years of jurisprudence. Using the opponents’ arguments to identify the strongest claims against SB277, the Article explains why those arguments—including claims based in the First Amendment, in parental rights, and in the right to education—cannot stand.

Strategies to Increase Vaccine Acceptance and Uptake
Strategies to increase vaccine acceptance and uptake Les Pensières Fondation Mérieux Conference Center Veyrier-du-Lac - France 26-28 September 2016 Steering Committee: • Eve Dube • Julie Leask • Jacques Louis • Saad Omer • Nick Sevdalis • L. Suzanne Suggs • Angus Thomson • Gaelle Vallee-Tourangeau • Cindy Grasso, Meeting Coordinator Background Significant gaps in coverage in both infant and adult immunization programs across the world mean that hundreds of millions of people are not being protected against serious infectious diseases. There are myriad reasons for low vaccine uptake including challenges to access, affordability, awareness, acceptance and simple activation of people to act. This meeting will focus primarily on vaccine hesitancy, understanding the drivers and barriers to awareness, acceptance and activation, with a view to informing the development of effective strategies to close immunization gaps. Information and education alone do not change behavior. So what might work? The development and implementation of vaccination programs is built upon rigorous science to ensure efficacy, effectiveness, safety, quality and supply. However, a number of recent reviews suggest that the same scientific rigor is not being applied to a final crucial determinant of vaccination: uptake of vaccines by the public. These reviews consistently found poor quality in study design, including lack of consistent, reliable and validated outcome measures. Successful development, implementation, and evaluation of vaccination uptake require the participation of individuals and communities, along with healthcare providers and researchers, the public and private sectors, and civil society organizations. Collaboration between those who generate the evidence and those who apply it in practice is key to success. There are a few interventions that are effective in enhancing vaccination uptake.
