An Act To Ensure Safer Childhood Vaccines

CONCEPT DRAFT SUMMARY

This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.

This bill proposes to require that patient intake forms used by all health care facilities, including hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care facilities, health care clinics and doctor’s offices, include a question on the form regarding the date of the patient’s most recent vaccine. This vaccine-related information will then be provided to the United States Department of Health and Human Services to aid its efforts to ensure safer childhood vaccines.
