We are asking Louisiana lawmakers to protect vulnerable patients by removing the prohibition on proof of immunization from HB 291.

Our request to lawmakers:

Please help to keep our most vulnerable loved-ones safe and remove the language in HB 291 that prohibits health care facilities from requiring proof of immunization from visitors.

Immunization is a simple, safe, long-practiced public health measure that prevents the spread of disease.

While we all want to support a "no patient left alone law," we cannot if it threatens lives. An estimated 245,000 kids in the US were "left alone" after being orphaned during the pandemic. HB 291 could result in more loss of life - deaths that could be prevented. We believe that one person's choice not to vaccinate should not be allowed to endanger the lives of every vulnerable patient in hospitals, nursing homes, or other healthcare settings.
