A RESOLUTION

Recognizing National Immunization Week 2026 and expressing support for the goals of the Georgia Universal Vaccine Access Act; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, routine immunizations prevent serious illness, disability, and death, saving countless lives each year; and

WHEREAS, immunization programs reduce health care costs, protect the most vulnerable, and safeguard the strength and well-being of communities; and

WHEREAS, National Immunization Week 2026 is an opportunity to celebrate the advances in public health that vaccines have made possible and to recommit ourselves to expanding access for all Georgians; and

WHEREAS, disparities in vaccination rates continue to exist across Georgia, with children in low-income families, seniors on fixed incomes, rural residents, and communities of color facing the greatest barriers to access; and

WHEREAS, every child and senior deserves equitable access to life-saving vaccines regardless of income, insurance status, or geography; and

WHEREAS, the proposed Georgia Universal Vaccine Access Act creates a sustainable framework to provide all children and seniors with ACIP-recommended vaccines at no cost, ensures fair contributions from health insurers, and invests in outreach to close equity gaps.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize National Immunization Week 2026 and express their support for protecting public health, promoting equity, and safeguarding future generations through universal access to vaccines.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the Georgia Department of Public Health and the National Public Health Information Coalition.
