What’s in it
AI summary Currently, minors can give their own consent to get medical care for sexually transmitted infections. This bill would change that rule by preventing minors from consenting to certain vaccines on their own. These specific vaccines are those listed on the federal vaccine injury table.1
Read the official explanation
Under Code section 135A.35, a minor has the legal capacity to act and give consent to provision of medical care or services to the minor for the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of a sexually transmitted disease or infection by a hospital, clinic, or health care provider. Under the bill, the minor’s legal capacity to consent under this Code section is limited such that a minor does not have legal capacity to consent to the provision of a vaccine included on the vaccine injury table under federal law.
