Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to prohibiting a mandatory immunization against the novel coronavirus/COVID-19
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend New York's public health law to prohibit mandatory COVID-19 vaccination in several key contexts. Specifically, the bill prevents requiring COVID-19 vaccines for children under 18 without parental consent, and mandates that healthcare providers disclose vaccine ingredients and potential side effects before administering the vaccine. For incapacitated individuals over 18, the bill requires consent from a legal guardian before vaccination. The legislation also forbids requiring COVID-19 vaccination for students, teachers, and staff at educational institutions or day care facilities, and prohibits mandating that individuals carry or present proof of COVID-19 vaccination. The bill defines key terms such as "person in parental relation" and "incapacitated person" to provide clarity about who is covered by these provisions. By creating these restrictions, the bill aims to protect individual and parental choice regarding COVID-19 vaccination, ensuring that no one is compelled to receive the vaccine against their or their guardian's wishes.
