Bill > SF694

This bill establishes a Vaccine Recipient Bill of Rights in Minnesota, creating a comprehensive set of protections and guidelines for individuals receiving vaccines. The bill declares that individuals have the right to determine their own medical interests regarding vaccines without facing threats to their employment, education, or freedom of movement. It requires healthcare providers to disclose the specific vaccine being administered and provide access to independent, non-manufacturer information about the vaccine before obtaining consent. For individuals over 65 who are dependent on others, the bill ensures the right to consult with an independent medical advocate before vaccination. The bill prohibits requiring or coercing individuals to receive experimental or investigational vaccines, including those under emergency use authorization. Healthcare providers must educate themselves about the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System and provide information about it to vaccine recipients. Additionally, the bill restricts private businesses from mandating or coercing vaccination, with exceptions for situations authorized by other laws. The overall purpose is to protect individual constitutional liberties, promote informed consent, and ensure individuals can make autonomous medical decisions about vaccinations.
