(Des Moines, IA) — Governor Kim Reynolds has approved a law that prohibits state-licensed childcare centers, K-through-12 schools and Iowa colleges and universities from having Covid-19 vaccination mandates for enrollment. Democrats in the legislature objected. Senator Joe Bolkcom of Iowa City says there’s a movement to undermine vaccinations, and added, “We don’t need to make polio great again.” Republican Senator Jason Schultz of Schleswig says the law gives individuals and parents the right to make their own decisions about getting vaccinated. Covid-19 vaccination requirements are now prohibited for enrollment in childcare centers, public schools, community colleges, Iowa’s three state universities, and every private college in Iowa.
