Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) this week said he was “pro-vaccination” and vowed not to sign any bills passed by the state legislature that could decrease vaccinations, saying his state is “pro-vaccination.”
“Traditionally I don’t comment on bills that are moving through the Legislature,” Ducey told reporters on Wednesday, according to The Arizona Republic. "But because this involves public health, I think it's important for people to know that we are pro-vaccination in the state of Arizona. Vaccinations are good for our kids and helpful for public health."
His comments came after the Arizona House Health and Human Services Committee approved three bills last week to expand exemptions for mandatory vaccinations.
Ducey did not publicly comment on the specifics of the bills said he would veto any legislation that would jeopardize public health, the newspaper noted. He said he would not sign anything that does not promote vaccinations.
