AI Summary
This bill establishes a requirement for health care providers to notify individuals prior to administering any vaccine about the option to obtain a serologic antibody titer test to determine if they have already developed positive antibody titers, either through previous vaccination or natural exposure. The bill also states that documented laboratory evidence of a positive antibody titer constitutes proof of immunity and satisfies the state's immunization requirements for school or daycare attendance. The bill is intended to honor the memory of Holly Marie Stavola, who died from a vaccine-related adverse event, and is inspired by New Jersey's "Holly's Law."
