Immunization provisions changed.
This bill updates Minnesota's immunization laws by clarifying definitions for schools and child care facilities and establishing new procedures for modifying the state immunization schedule. It requires the health commissioner to consult with medical organizations, educational leaders, and specific advocacy groups when proposing changes to vaccine requirements, while also mandating consideration of disease data, vaccine safety, and cost-benefit analyses. The legislation adds a requirement that public hearings be held within 60 days if requested by legislative committee chairs before any schedule modifications can be adopted. Additionally, the bill repeals an existing administrative rule related to immunization standards. These changes affect schools, child care providers, health officials, and vaccine administration across the state.
