Tennessee’s governor is backing the termination of a top health official after she noted that state doctrine allows children to get vaccines without parental consent.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said that he sets a vision for each department and that the state Department of Health acted in line with his vision when it fired Dr. Michelle Fiscus earlier this month.
