A 625 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for identification and study of infant fatalities and near fatalities resulting from vaccination; requires inclusion of vaccination information in sudden infant death reports; and requires use of federal infant death reporting form.

This New Jersey bill (A625) requires medical professionals to document all vaccines given to infants in the six months before an unexplained death (under age 3) and include this information in standard federal death investigation reports. It mandates the use of a specific CDC-provided SUIDI form for sudden infant death cases and directs the Child Fatality Review Board to study potential links between vaccination and infant fatalities/near fatalities. The board must identify cases where vaccination may have contributed to death, analyze patterns, and report findings within one year, including recommendations to reduce such incidents while maintaining public health protections. The law affects physicians, medical examiners, and the review board, focusing on data collection and analysis rather than making causal claims about vaccines.
