Bill > S07342

This bill seeks to prohibit the administration of COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations in New York until the state Department of Health completes a comprehensive study analyzing the potential risks and benefits of these vaccines. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Health to conduct a detailed investigation, including a self-controlled case series (a type of epidemiological study that compares an individual's health outcomes before and after vaccination), which must be completed within one year of the bill's enactment. The vaccine can only continue to be administered if the department determines, through its analysis, that the benefits of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the risks. Until such time as the department reaches this conclusion, the bill mandates a complete prohibition on administering these vaccines. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage, effectively halting COVID-19 mRNA vaccination efforts in New York State pending the requested health department study and recommendations.
