AI Summary
This bill permits any child who is at least 14 years of age to have certain immunizations administered to themselves, regardless of parental consent. The bill defines "health care practitioner" as a licensed or certified medical professional, "vaccine" as an approved biological product intended to confer immunization, and "capacity to consent" as an individual's ability, regardless of age, to understand and appreciate the nature and consequences of the proposed vaccination and make an informed decision about it. The bill requires the health care practitioner to consult with and counsel the minor to ensure they fully understand the vaccine and are providing informed consent before administering it.
