What’s in it

This bill requires that a health professional who administers vaccines shall provide certain information to a person or, if the person is a minor, to the person’s parent or legal guardian, before administering a vaccine. The information to be provided includes: the benefits and risks of the vaccine; the vaccine manufacturer’s product insert; the federal excipient and media summary for the vaccine; and how to report a vaccine-adverse event. The bill makes conforming changes throughout the Code to reflect the required informed consent provision in the administration of vaccines.
