HOUSTON, TX (May 8, 2024) — Following reporting that Cypress-Fairbank ISD is eliminating educational material about immunizations from district curriculum, The Immunization Partnership’s Chief Strategy Officer Rekha Lakshmanan said in a media statement:
“Politicizing the science behind immunizations that protect our children’s health and save lives is outrageous. And it’s especially dangerous at a time when our public health systems are constantly on the defensive against deliberate misinformation. Whether in the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD or anywhere else in Texas, school boards have no business putting science education on the chopping block.”
