Bill Summary
A RESOLUTION To authorize and direct each licensed day care center, kindergarten, elementary or secondary school, college, university, proprietary school, or vocational school that requires a vaccine for COVID-19 to fully inform each student or parent or legal guardian of a student that the COVID-19 vaccine is for emergency use only, is experimental, and has not been fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration and that he or she has a right to refuse the vaccination for reasons of health, religion, or conscience..
AI Summary
This Resolution directs all licensed day care centers, kindergartens, elementary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, proprietary schools, and vocational schools in Louisiana that require a COVID-19 vaccination to fully inform students or their parents or legal guardians that the vaccine is currently authorized only for emergency use, is considered experimental, and has not received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It emphasizes that individuals have the right to refuse the vaccination for reasons of health, religion, or conscience, referencing existing state laws that allow for written dissent from vaccinations and the right to refuse medical treatment during a public health emergency. The resolution stems from concerns that some educational institutions were considering vaccine mandates and the use of digital vaccine passports, which were seen as potential violations of individual liberties and privacy.
