No. Perry didn't rescind the EO until RP74 issued on February 17, 2011.
However, the Texas House got some memo in 2007 (likely pissed off constituents) - the Texas House passed HB 1098 on March 14, 2007, overturning the EO by a vote of 119-21. The Texas Senate followed suit the following month by a vote of 30-1.
“Excuses”? I don’t need to give you “excuses” about anything. You might want to make some “excuses” for your own obnoxiousness.

Before widespread vaccination, around 100 children a year died from chicken pox in the USA.

A true conservative would have made it “Opt-IN” instead of forcing the mandate on parents UNLESS they opted out.
Perry got it wrong.
Perry got it backwards.
Perry - just another big govt Amnesty lovin’ RINO/elitist.
Yeah. Ain't that somethin.
I find it hilarious that some are now saying Malkin has no credibility. HAHAHAHHAAHAHA! She has more than Perry! And is a rock-solid, staunch conservative to boot.
No, she wasn't simply making the funds available. She was making the vaccine available. The money had been budgeted. The contracts had been signed. As far as the evil faceless corporation went, Merck probably did as well -- note the money had been budgeted -- as with Perry's school inoculation program on a per person basis.
Of course if Gardasil is a good thing -- as Palin apparently thinks it is --then the young ladies would have been better off under Perry's plan as more of them would have gotten the vaccine.
if as Perry and his supporters claim, he had to have an opt out option, instead of an opt in option, in order to get Federal Funds,
What I heard was that opt out option mandated its coverage by private insurance. Regarding Alaska, 2/3 of the state is owned by the feds. They get goodies other places don't but I don't know the specifics as to how Palin got the money for the Gardasil program about which she was boasting.
Also, if it’s such a super idea, why now is Perry apologizing for it?
He hasn't apologized for the inoculation program. He's apologized for how he went about getting it.
Dude really you are in the wrong party or you just did not get the message.
Palin’s platform is never again....No more situation normal all fricked up (snafu)....
There is not a single doubt that Perry's the one who freaking jumped his conservative and fair governorship on not just this issue but on many others including ATT which is yet to hit the fan.
Palin’s stock just went up in my opinion and Rush can stick it on this issue cause well...his accuracy rating just took a hit.
"Not publicized" except for in the actual press release from Rick Perry himself when this was announced. Also, believe it or not, people can get HPV from their spouse. The reason for the young age of vaccination is because the drug loses efficacy the older the person is when it is taken. Got any more lies to spread?

Gov. Perry Establishes HPV Vaccination Program for Young Women
Vaccine will save lives of Texas women by preventing cervical cancer caused by HPV
Friday, February 02, 2007 • Press Release
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today issued an executive order directing the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to adopt rules requiring all girls age 11 and 12 to receive the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine prior to entering sixth grade, effective September 2008. The executive order also directs HHSC and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to make the vaccine immediately available to eligible young females through the Texas Vaccines for Children program for young women ages 9 to 18, and through Medicaid for women ages 19 to 21.
“The HPV vaccine provides us with an incredible opportunity to effectively target and prevent cervical cancer,” said Perry. “Requiring young girls to get vaccinated before they come into contact with HPV is responsible health and fiscal policy that has the potential to significantly reduce cases of cervical cancer and mitigate future medical costs.”
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. Today, approximately 20 million people in the nation are infected, including one in four 15 to 24 year olds. Certain strains of HPV cause most cases of cervical cancer. Texas has the second highest number of women suffering from this devastating disease in the nation. In 2006, there were 1,169 new cases and nearly 400 deaths from cervical cancer in the state.
Parents may choose to opt out of mandatory vaccinations for reasons of conscience, including religious beliefs. The governor’s executive order directs DSHS to ease the opt out process by providing exemption request forms online.
Never agree to be the VP for the biggest RINO in the GOP?
Never campaign for Juan McLame again in a GOP primary?
Never quit her elected position two years into her first term?
Exactly what does "never again" mean?
Malkin works for FoxNews.
Palin works for FoxNews.
Gee, what a shock that Malkin would come to Palin’s defense. Problem is, unless Malkin also wants to smear Perry as being corrupt, it isn’t going to work.

LOL....all day long I have seen an integrity attack on Sarah...good luck with that....!
Yeah, you're right. Silly of me to expect it.
Palin’s platform is never again..
I thought it was the game ends at halftime
Or why go all the way, when you can go halfway?
Or quit when you're a half
Or I put my administration in the oven, and left it half-baked.
