Immunization/vaccination requirements by governmental entities; prohibit if not recommended by the CDC.

HB 747 prohibits Mississippi state agencies, schools, counties, municipalities, and other public entities from requiring any vaccination not recommended by the CDC’s current Childhood or Adult Immunization Schedules. It directly affects students, staff, and residents in public schools, state institutions, and community settings by restricting mandatory vaccines to only those endorsed by the CDC. The bill amends existing laws (Sections 41-23-37 and 41-23-43) to ensure all immunization requirements align with CDC guidance, while maintaining existing medical exemptions and CDC-recommended schedules. It does not eliminate required vaccines but bars mandates for non-CDC-recommended ones, such as those for school enrollment or public health programs.
