HB2474 is a bill that aims to assert that immunizations issued under an FDA emergency use authorization are not required for school attendance in Arizona. The current law states that immunizations for human papillomavirus and COVID-19, or any variant of COVID-19, are not required for school attendance. The bill seeks to amend section 36-672 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to include immunizations under emergency use authorization in the list of those not required for school attendance. The Governor vetoed the bill, expressing concerns that it would undermine public trust in FDA-approved vaccines.
