What’s in it

This bill provides that notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary regarding required immunization, a person who is required to receive an immunization for any purpose, including as a condition of employment, enrollment in any licensed child care center or elementary or secondary school, or licensure, is exempt from the immunization requirement unless certain conditions are met. The conditions that must be met are that 1) the pivotal clinical trial the United States food and drug administration (FDA) relied upon to approve the vaccine evaluated the vaccine’s safety, for at least one year after it was administered, against a control group that received either a placebo or another vaccine that was licensed for approval as provided in this paragraph; 2) the department of public health posts on the department’s website the injuries or diseases caused by the vaccine and the rate at which the injury or disease occurs as a result of the vaccine; 3) the risk of permanent disability or death from the vaccine has been proven to be less than that caused by the infection the vaccine is intended to prevent; and 4) the vaccine’s manufacturer is liable, including for design defect claims, for any injury caused by the vaccine.

Read the full explanation

A person, or if the person is a minor, the minor’s parent or legal guardian, may claim and be granted the exemption from immunization if the conditions specified in the bill are not met and the person shall not be subject to additional conditions or requirements to claim the exemption.
