AI Summary
This bill establishes a requirement for health care providers to notify individuals prior to administering any vaccine about the option to obtain serologic proof of immunity through an antibody titer test, instead of vaccination, if such a test is available for that vaccine. The bill also clarifies that documented laboratory evidence of a positive antibody titer satisfies the state's immunization requirement for school or day care attendance. The intent of the bill is to honor the memory of Holly Marie Stavola, who died from a vaccine-related adverse event, and to provide individuals with more options regarding vaccination requirements.
