The DC Act allows minors over the age of 11 to agree to the vaccine
Claim: Democrats pass a bill to vaccinate children without parental knowledge or consent
On October 20, the Council of the District of Columbia voted 12-1 to approve a bill that would allow children over the age of 11 to be vaccinated without the consent of their parents. Washington post..
The bill was enacted on December 23, after another vote in November and the transfer of the bill to Mayor Muriel Bowser in December.
December 29, Conservative overview “DC has passed and agreed to a bill to vaccinate children without parental knowledge,” published an article about the measure. The Conservative Brief is a news and opinion site.
Along with the story, the website has published a photo of Dr. Anthony Fauci, a longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the face of the country’s reaction to COVID-19.
Later that day, the talk show host Chuck Woolley I shared an article on Twitter’s Conservative Brief with the caption “Dems Pass Bill to Vaccinate Children without Parental Knowledge, Consent.”His tweet was later shared on Facebook by an account like this: White flame..
Conservative Brief, Woolery and La Flama Blanca are not responding to requests for comment from USA TODAY.
The DC Council has passed a law that allows minors over the age of 11 to agree to the vaccine, not their parents.
Most of the factual components of the Conservative Brief story are accurate and DC Council..
The law stipulates that minors over the age of 11 “may agree to be vaccinated if they can meet the criteria for informed consent,” and the government recommends vaccination. I have.
Physicians determine whether a minor patient meets the criteria for informed consent, which is defined as the ability to “understand the need, nature, and usually significant risks inherent in health care.”
The law also requires doctors to “request a refund directly from the insurance company without parental consent” and “submit vaccination records directly to the school of minors” rather than their parents.
It is worth noting that the Conservative Brief article contains a quote from The Vaccine Reaction, the anti-vaccine website published by the National Vaccine Information Center. These citations are opinions, not facts.
There is no reason for Fauci to be drawn — some readers have come to mistakenly believe that the law is a national measure or is related to COVID-19. Snopes..
In fact, the law was a local measure specific to Washington, DC and had nothing to do with COVID-19.The law was actually prompted by Measles outbreak in 2019..

Posting on Twitter and Facebook about the bill can also be misleading as it attributed the bill to the “Democratic Party” rather than the DC Council. It’s true that the DC Council is made up of Democrats only, but the bill is local, not national, and does not necessarily represent the Democrats.
The law also does not require minors to be vaccinated or to be vaccinated without any form of consent. If informed consent is considered possible for people over the age of 11, they can simply decide whether to get vaccinated, not their parents.
Our Judgment: Missing Context
Based on our research, the claim that Democrats passed a bill to vaccinate children without the knowledge and consent of their parents is lacking in context. In fact, the DC Council has passed a law that allows minors over the age of 11 rather than their parents to decide whether to get a government-recommended vaccine.
