AI Summary
This bill establishes an immunization program within the Department of Public Health for certain child care centers, schools, camps, and institutions of higher education. It requires these "covered programs" to ensure participants have documentation of immunizations or an approved medical or religious exemption. The bill defines the process for obtaining exemptions, requires covered programs to annually report immunization and exemption data, and allows the Department to designate certain programs as "elevated risk" if they have not achieved herd immunity or failed to report data. The bill also allows private covered programs to implement more stringent immunization requirements and requires the Department to conduct outreach on immunization safety and availability of vaccine programs.
