ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) - New York State Assemblywoman Pat Fahy introduced a bill on Friday that would allow minors as young as 14 years old to receive immunizations without their parent’s consent. Fahey said the state’s on the verge of a public health crisis.

“Over the last 10 or 20 years, we’ve become complacent about immunizations,” Fahy said. “We do need to make sure that children can sometimes, and we hope that it’s a rare case, take their own personal health into consideration."

The bill comes on the heels of Ethan Lindenberger’s testimony before Congress on Tuesday. Lindenberger defied his parent’s wishes and immunized himself without their consent.

In New York State, the only exemptions under the law for vaccinations are for religious and medical reasons. The state requires all students attending public, private or patriarchal schools to be immune to several viruses, including measles and meningitis. These are two of the viruses the bill is pushing for teens to immunize themselves against.

Facebook is even joining the conversation. It announced it’s combating anti-vaccination-misinformation on its platform.

According to Fahy's office, only seven states and D.C. allow minors to receive vaccinations without their parent’s consent.

Future proves past?!

AUSTIN, TX (KXAN) - A new vaccine is promising one less shot and possibly fewer tears for young children.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new combination vaccine called Vaxelis designed for children ages 6 weeks to 4-years-old. The FDA says it keeps them from contracting diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B and invasive disease due to haemophilus influenzae type B.

Right now infants get three shots to protect them against the six diseases, but with the new vaccine, there will be fewer.

"You're getting vaccinated sooner and more effectively at a younger age and hopefully it will be more widely available to everyone, and you're not going to miss vaccines," explains pediatrician Dr. Brian Temple. "When you have multiple different shots there are errors so it's nice to have it all in one."

“The time will come – and it may not be far off – when quite different tendencies will come up at a

congress like the one held in 1912 and people will say: It is pathological for people to even think in terms of spirit and soul.

‘Sound’ people will speak of nothing but the body. It will be considered a sign of illness for

anyone to arrive at the idea of any such thing as a spirit or a soul. People who think like that will be considered to be sick and – you can be quite sure of it – a medicine will be found for this. . . .

The soul will be made non-existent with the aid of a drug. Taking a ‘sound point of view,’ people will invent a vaccine to influence the organism as early as possible, preferably as soon as it is born, so that this human body never even gets the idea that there is a soul and spirit.
