What’s in it
AI summary Health care providers in Iowa would be required to give patients specific information about vaccines and how to report side effects. The Department of Public Health and professional boards will work together to make sure doctors and nurses follow these federal rules. If a provider fails to follow these requirements, they could face fines or disciplinary action.1
