Bill Summary
AN ACT To enact R.S. 40:1079.4, relative to parental consent with respect to the administration of vaccines to minors; to provide for definitions; to provide for legislative findings; to require the provision of certain vaccination information; to require parental consent for the vaccination of minors; to provide for exemptions; to provide for disciplinary actions; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill requires healthcare providers to obtain prior written informed consent from a parent, legal guardian, or representative before administering any vaccine to a minor (defined as an unemancipated child between 15 and 18 years old who is not a parent or legal guardian of a minor). The bill also provides information about the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, including that vaccine manufacturers are not liable for harm caused by their vaccines, and that no safety studies have been performed on the combination of multiple vaccines administered during a single visit. The bill allows parents to decline some or all recommended vaccinations, and prohibits state employees from providing, requesting, or facilitating the vaccination of a minor in state custody. Violations of the bill's provisions can result in disciplinary action against the healthcare provider's license.
