Relating to information to be provided, recorded, and reported by health care providers and health professionals relative to vaccinations and immunizations, and providing for licensee discipline

This bill relates to the requirements for health care providers and health professionals who administer vaccinations and immunizations. The bill requires all health care providers to comply with the federal requirements applicable to health care providers who administer vaccines, including documenting and reporting any adverse event following the vaccination that the patient experiences within eight weeks post-administration and that becomes known to the health care provider to the federal food and drug administration vaccine adverse event reporting system; and providing to an adult patient, or the parent or legal representative of a minor patient, a copy of the report. The bill also requires all licensed health professionals authorized to administer vaccinations or immunizations to be enrolled users of the statewide immunization registry and report such administration to the statewide immunization registry. A health professional who violates this provision is subject to licensee discipline.
