What’s in it
AI summary Healthcare providers who give COVID-19 vaccines must give the latest vaccine fact sheet to every patient or their caregiver before the shot is given. The provider must also record in their medical files that they shared the fact sheet and report the vaccination to the state's immunization system.1

This bill requires a provider who has enrolled in the centers for disease control and prevention of the United States department of health and human services (CDC) COVID-19 vaccination program to administer a COVID-19 vaccine to provide to each patient or their caregiver prior to administration of the vaccine the most recent product-specific COVID-19 vaccine fact sheet for recipients and caregivers. The provider administering the vaccine shall document provision of the fact sheet to the patient or their caregiver in the provider’s medical record system and shall report administration of the vaccine to the immunization information system as required by the CDC.
