AI Summary
This bill permits any child who is at least 14 years of age to receive certain immunizations required or recommended by law, without parental consent. The bill defines key terms, including "health care practitioner," "vaccine," and "capacity to consent," which refers to the child's ability to understand and make an informed decision about the vaccination. The health care practitioner must consult with and counsel the minor to ensure they fully understand the nature and consequences of the vaccine and are providing informed consent. The bill aims to allow minors aged 14 and older to make their own decisions about certain recommended or required vaccinations.
