Parent or legal guardian requirement to be present for vaccine administration to a minor
SF 839 requires a parent or legal guardian to be present when a healthcare provider administers a vaccine to a minor. This directly affects minors seeking routine vaccinations and their parents or legal guardians. The bill includes an exception for vaccines where minors have consented under specific laws (sections 144.341, 144.342, or 144.3441). The law would take effect the day after final enactment.
