PUBLIC HEALTH: Provides relative to vaccines. (8/1/26)

SB 36, a Louisiana bill, prohibits using food as a delivery method for mRNA vaccines and mandates detailed informed consent for all vaccinations. It requires healthcare providers to give patients specific written information about the vaccine's purpose, technology, benefits, and risks before administration. The bill also restricts when consent can be obtained, banning it within 48 hours of anesthesia, 12 hours after childbirth, or 24 hours after narcotic medication. These provisions directly affect healthcare providers and patients receiving vaccines in Louisiana.
