Senate Resolution No. 133

BY: Senator PERSAUD

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 April 24-30, 2025, as Immunization Week in the State
 of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to promote the
health and welfare of all New Yorkers; and

 WHEREAS, Vaccines are one of the greatest achievements of modern
civilization, preventing the spread of life-threatening diseases and the
deaths of more than two million people each year according to the World
Health Organization; and

 WHEREAS, The discovery of vaccines for polio and smallpox changed
the course of world history and allowed for the eradication of diseases
long thought to be unavoidable and uncontrollable; and

 WHEREAS, Immunization protects against diseases that are
historically some of the most virulent killers of children under five
years old, including pneumonia and rotavirus diarrhea; and

 WHEREAS, Vaccines also protect children, adolescents, and adults
against the flu, meningitis, cervical cancer caused by human papilloma
virus, liver cancer, diphtheria, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, pertussis,
rubella, tetanus, and other harmful diseases; and

 WHEREAS, According to the World Health Organization, up to 1.5
million children around the world still die each year from diseases
which could have been prevented with a simple vaccine; and

 WHEREAS, There has been a recent outbreak of measles and whooping
cough in different parts of the United States, including New York, in
part due to misinformation regarding the safety and effectiveness of the
vaccinations that prevent these diseases; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body should use every measure at its
disposal to promote the health of our children and the use of vaccines
to accomplish this crucial public health goal; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 24-30, 2025, as
Immunization Week in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
