Anti-vaxxers claim loophole in Texas law allows them to place unvaccinated kids in day care

TRAVIS GETTYS 19 NOV 2018 AT 09:33 ET

Anti-vaxxers in Texas are trying to exploit a loophole in state law to allow conscientious exemptions to vaccines for children in day care.

Texans for Vaccine Choice is calling for families whose unvaccinated children were rejected from private day care facilities to present their stories to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to end those denials, reported the Houston Chronicle.

State law requires vaccines for children at licensed facilities, but the anti-vaxxer organization says child care facilities regulated by the state can forego those requirements if parents have a medical or conscience exemption.

Legal experts dispute their interpretation of the statute, but Texans for Vaccine Choice argues child care facilities cannot lawfully deny the exemptions.
