AI Summary

This Resolution requests that the Department of Health conduct a study to determine if it is practical to allow individuals who are sixteen years old or older to get a COVID-19 vaccination without needing permission from their parents or guardians. The resolution highlights the importance of vaccinating minors for their health and for broader community protection, noting that other states have already allowed minors of similar or younger ages to consent to vaccinations, and that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has full approval for this age group. The Department of Health is also asked to report its findings and any recommendations, including potential new laws, to the Legislature before the start of the 2023 legislative session.
