Bill > HB1275

This bill establishes a database to monitor the adverse effects of vaccinations in the state of Washington. The key provisions are: 1. The Department of Health will create the Adverse Vaccine Reaction Monitoring Program to collect reports of immediate, short-term, and long-term adverse reactions to vaccines approved by the FDA. Health care providers must report any suspected adverse reactions within 7 days, and failure to do so is considered unprofessional conduct. 2. The program will publish annual reports summarizing the data, including the number and type of adverse reactions, their severity and duration, as well as a list of researchers who have accessed the database. 3. The database will be made available to all researchers requesting access. 4. The Department will collect a $1 fee from every licensed health care provider for each vaccine administered, and these funds will be deposited into the Adverse Vaccine Reaction Monitoring Account to support the program.
