AI Summary

This bill prohibits the Commission for Public Health from adding any new vaccines to the state's childhood immunization schedule unless the vaccine has been licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a minimum of three years. However, the Commission can add an FDA-approved vaccine that has been approved for less than the minimum three-year period upon recommendation by both the North Carolina Medical Society Board of Directors and the North Carolina Pediatric Society Board of Directors. The bill also requires the Commission to adopt and the Department to enforce rules concerning the implementation of the immunization program, including delineating the child's age at administration of each vaccine, the number of doses, exemptions, procedures, and fees that healthcare providers can charge for the administration of state-provided vaccines.
