Bill > S07088

This bill seeks to prohibit mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations in New York State across multiple domains of public life. The legislation would prevent any governmental, educational, healthcare, or business entity from requiring COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for participation in various activities, including school attendance, employment, travel, accessing public buildings, using public transportation, or receiving government services. The bill specifically protects children and incapacitated individuals by requiring parental or guardian consent for vaccination, and mandates that healthcare providers disclose vaccine ingredients and potential side effects. Additionally, the bill prohibits government entities, healthcare providers, and insurance companies from offering financial incentives or rewards for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, and prevents any requirement for individuals to carry or present proof of vaccination. The legislation aims to preserve individual choice regarding COVID-19 vaccination by removing any mandatory or coercive mechanisms that might compel people to get immunized against their will, effectively making vaccination entirely voluntary in the state of New York.
