MONTPELIER, Vt. -

A new twist in the debate over immunizing Vermont's children.

The House Health Care Committee voted to reverse the Senate's

decision.

The Senate passed a bill that requires all children be vaccinated against

a range of illnesses. The bill prevented parents from claiming

" philosophical exemptions, " which would allow them to refuse to

vaccinate their child before sending them to school.

The House committee, however, passed a bill that allows for those

philosophical exemptions.

" The bill they voted out will not directly address the decline in

rates we've seen in Vermont. I am disappointed. I wish they could've done

more, " said Sen. Mullin, R-Rutland County.

" I feel satisfied that the committee dug in and did its best to come

to a compromise and I think it's a step forward; a modest step forward,

but it is a step forward, " said Rep. Fisher,

D-Lincoln.

Mullin sponsored the bill, which passed with a strong majority in the

Senate. He says he's hoping once it hits the House floor it will be

changed back.
