Bill > SF128

This bill requires medical examiners who investigate deaths of infants between zero and three years old to include specific immunization information on their investigation reports. Specifically, the report must request details about the date and type of the child's most recent immunization, and if multiple immunizations were given during that last medical visit, all types of immunizations must be documented. The state medical examiner is mandated to create administrative rules to implement this requirement, following standard rule-making procedures under chapter 17A of state law. The purpose appears to be gathering comprehensive vaccination history for infants who have died, which could potentially help public health officials understand any potential connections between immunization status and infant mortality, though the bill does not explicitly state the rationale behind collecting this data.
