“The CDC recommends vaccinations from birth through adulthood to provide a lifetime of immunity.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “diseases that vaccines prevent, can be dangerous or even deadly. Vaccines help reduce the risk of infection by working with the body’s natural defenses to help it safely develop immunity to disease.”

“Diseases that used to be common in this country and around the world, …… can now be prevented by vaccination. Thanks to a vaccine, one of the most terrible diseases in history – smallpox – no longer exists outside the laboratory. Over the years vaccines have prevented countless cases of disease and saved millions of lives.” (CDC)

Malloy signed into law Public Act No. 14-203 which was passed through both the Connecticut Senate and House of Representatives which seeks to increase the number of patients who are tested for Hepatitis C, consistent with the announced goal of the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The law will require licensed primary care physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and physician assistants to offer to provide or order a Hepatitis C screening or diagnostic test for patients born between 1945 and 1965 when providing services to these patients. The requirement will not apply when a patient (1) is being treated for a life-threatening emergency, (2) has been offered previously or has received a Hepatitis C screening test, or (3) lacks capacity to consent to a Hepatitis C screening test. “Primary care” is defined in this new law to include family medicine, general pediatrics, primary care internal medicine, primary care obstetrics, or primary care gynecology, without regard to board certification.
