Stronger vaccine laws mean safer schools, healthier communities, and better protection for kids who can’t be vaccinated. Right now, Massachusetts lawmakers are considering two urgent bills—S.1557 and H.2554—that would close dangerous loopholes in our state’s immunization requirements.
Fill out the quick form below to let our lawmakers know: the vast majority of voters in Massachusetts support strong vaccine laws. Let’s pass this landmark legislation and protect our kids now.
We’ve made it fast and easy to speak up.

Messages are pre-filled, but please add a personal note for the biggest impact.
Please also call Senator Bill Driscoll at 617-722-1643 and urge a favorable report on S.1557.
Talking points:
• Most Massachusetts voters support passing S.1557.
• States that ended non-medical exemptions saw immunization rates rise.
• High community immunity protects infants and immunocompromised people and prevents outbreaks.
• The “religious” exemption has become a loophole driven by vaccine misinformation.
Thank you for taking action now.
