Bill > HF2128

This bill requires the Minnesota Commissioner of Health to include detailed immunization data on death certificates for individuals who died within two years of receiving a vaccine. Specifically, the bill mandates that death certificates must document vaccination details such as administration date, vaccine type, dose volume, expiration date, lot number, route of administration, and administration site. For individuals under 18, the entire immunization record must be attached to the death certificate. Additionally, the bill requires the Commissioner to produce two types of public reports: an annual report detailing deaths occurring at various intervals after immunization (broken down by vaccine type, gender, age, race, and other factors), and a biennial cause of death and injury study that includes demographic information and details about deaths and injuries. The bill also stipulates that an independent, non-governmental auditor will be selected to review these reports, with strict privacy protections and data-sharing guidelines. These provisions will become effective for deaths occurring on or after January 1, 2026, with the goal of providing more comprehensive tracking and transparency around immunization and mortality data.
