An Act to increase access to the flu vaccine for older adults

This bill requires hospitals to offer flu vaccines to all inpatients aged 65 and older before they are discharged. The rule applies annually between October and February, provided the vaccine is available and there are no medical reasons preventing the shot. Hospitals must follow the latest vaccination guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the state public health department. The measure directly impacts hospital discharge procedures and ensures that elderly patients receive immunizations while they are still in the facility.
