Cody's child immunization bill signed into law

Gov. Christine Gregoire signed a new law -- House Bill 2551 -- by Rep. Eileen Cody that will save money and kids. The law protects a child immunization program that made cheap vaccines available statewide.

A non-profit group will take over the program, saving taxpayers more than $25 million while safeguarding the health of our children. For a few dollars per shot, vaccinations can protect children against diseases like polio that used to cripple and kill millions each year.
