5/2/11 Update

Please CALL YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE TODAY (even if you have already

called asking him/her before) to VOTE NO on HB1816.

HB1816 is listed on the General State Calendar and could be voted on

today!

The companion SB1107 already passed the Senate of Friday, so this is our

last chance.

Please MAKE YOUR ONE CALL TODAY and ask others to do the same!

Dear PROVE Texas Members,

Please STOP and make 2 short phone calls today to your state Senator

and Representative to try and block unnecessary forced meningitis

vaccines on college students

(

SB1107 and

HB1816). This legislation is unnecessary: the vaccine is

available to anyone who wants it – we don’t need the force of law, the

disease is so rare, and vaccine exemptions don’t apply to all students.

We are down to the wire and need EVERYONE’s calls today and on voice

mail machines this weekend. SB1107 is on the intent calendar in the

Senate for today and HB1816 is on the general calendar for Monday and

your State Senator and State Representative need to hear from many

constituents in their districts asking them to vote NO on SB1107 and

HB1816.

1) LOOKUP YOUR STATE SENATOR AND STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND THEIR PHONE

NUMBERS: Log into the NVIC Advocacy Portal at

http://NVICAdvocacy.org and go to

the Texas State Team Page to see your personal legislators’ contact

information automatically displayed OR go to

http://www.legis.state.tx.us/Home.aspx and enter in your address

information in the “Who Represents Me” section.

2) CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR ASKING THEM TO VOTE NO on SB1107 which is

on the Intent Calendar today and YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE ASSKING THEM

TO VOTE NO on HB1816 which is on the General State Calendar for

5/2.

I am a constituent and I am asking Senator______ to VOTE NO on

SB1107 (or Representative ______ to VOTE NO on HB1816). This bill

is completely unnecessary because:

1) The vaccine is available to any college student who wants it and we

don’t need to be forced by law to get it

2) The vaccine is expensive – it will cost college students over $150 to

get it

3) Neisseria Meningitis in college students is so rare and the vaccine

doesn’t even cover the most prevalent serogroups.

According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, the total

number of confirmed cases of Neisseria meningitis in all people ages

15-24 in Texas were :

2005 – 11 where 8/11 were from serogroups that are not covered by

vaccination

2006 – 6 where 5/6 were from serogroups that are not covered by

vaccination

2007 – 21 where 8/21 were from serogroups that are not covered by

vaccination

2008 – 15 where 10/15 were from serogroups that are not covered by

vaccination

2009 - 7 where 4/7 were from serogroups that not covered by

vaccination

2010 – 11 where 6/11 were from serogroups that are not covered by

vaccination.

(Data provided by DSHS to PROVE in email dated Tuesday, March 22, 2011

and attached to this note and footnoted on our website).

4) Vaccine exemptions are not available to all college students. The

Attorney General ruled that vaccine exemptions granted in the Education

Code don’t apply to students in Private Schools.

points are enough)

3. FORWARD THIS TO EVERY FAMILY YOU KNOW THAT THIS WILL EFFECT NOW OR

IN THE FUTURE SO TEXAS FAMILIES CAN BE FREE TO MAKE THIS DECISION INSTEAD

OF THE STATE.

PLEASE DON’T REGRET NOT PICKING UP THE PHONE AND ASKING OTHERS TO DO

THE SAME!
