Bill > H0189

This bill proposes to require the Vermont Department of Health to submit an annual report to the state legislature on adverse reactions reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The report would include the total number of adverse reactions, aggregated data on the type of immunization, lot number, and age of recipient, the number and cost of emergency department visits and hospitalizations related to adverse reactions, and the number of permanent disabilities and deaths. The bill also requires the Department to provide the report to healthcare providers administering immunizations in Vermont and post it on their website.
