Bill > SB298

This bill requires all public school students in Texas to be fully immunized against bacterial meningitis, with an exception for those with valid medical reasons, by mandating proof of a quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine and a booster dose according to the schedule set by the Department of State Health Services, and the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission is tasked with creating the necessary rules by December 1, 2015, for this requirement to take effect starting with the 2016-2017 school year.
