Bill Summary
Relative to the reporting of possible vaccine adverse events occurring in connection with vaccination. Covid-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management.
AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce vaccine hesitancy by enhancing the reporting of potential vaccine adverse events. It requires healthcare providers administering any COVID-19 vaccine or other vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to report any possible adverse events to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) within 7 days, even if it is unclear if the vaccine caused the event. It also mandates that healthcare practices with more than 10 providers who administer vaccinations have an automated system to detect and report potential adverse events through their electronic medical records. Additionally, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health is directed to commission a study on the long-term health outcomes of vaccine recipients compared to non-vaccinated individuals.
