Bill > HB1449

This bill introduces new restrictions on school vaccination clinics in public elementary, secondary, and chartered public schools. Specifically, the bill prohibits schools from conducting vaccination clinics during school hours and requires that a parent or legal guardian must be physically present with their child during any vaccination at a school clinic. The legislation ensures that children cannot receive immunizations at school without direct parental supervision, though it explicitly preserves the existing duties of school nurses as outlined in another state law (RSA 200:38, I(a)). The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving schools and parents time to adapt to the new requirements. By mandating parental presence and limiting clinic hours, the bill appears aimed at increasing parental involvement and control over their children's vaccination process within school settings.
