Tennessee anti vaccine law traps foster parents and children
In Springfield Tennessee foster parent Ayle Borne has cared for over 300 children. A new law requires birth parents or guardians to consent to every routine vaccine, leaving caregivers unable to authorize immunizations for neglected or unavailable parents. A court order may be sought to vaccinate a premature infant. The measure joins a national trend of parental rights debates that threaten vaccination rates and public health.
