Jessica Biel clarifies stance on vaccines: 'I support children getting vaccinations'

After a wave of reports this week positioned Jessica Biel as taking a stand against children getting vaccinations, the mother and actress took to social media to set the record straight.

"I believe in giving doctors and the families they treat the ability to decide what’s best for their patients and the ability to provide that treatment. I encourage everyone to read more on this issue and to learn about the intricacies of #SB276. Thank you to everyone who met with me this week to engage in this important discussion!" she said.

Any request for an exemption would require"sufficient medical evidence" that the immunization would put the patient at risk for severe adverse effects based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . Some states are moving toward eliminating religious and personal nonmedical exemptions for vaccines, and some are trying to crack down on medical exemptions by requiring a doctor to write a letter, as seen in SB276 and California's SB277 from 2015.

Jessica Biel... Is this for real....? I can't tell you ONE THING she's ever done...NOT ONE. I know she's an actress. That's it.
