Revises requirements for administration of vaccines to patients.
This bill (S 377) requires healthcare providers in New Jersey to provide specific information to patients or their parents/guardians at least 48 hours before administering any vaccine. Providers must give a vaccine manufacturer's insert, a CDC excipient summary (list of non-active ingredients), and details about the VAERS reporting system for vaccine side effects. Patients or parents/guardians must also be informed of the option to decline vaccination and the consequences, such as potential school exclusion without a medical or religious exemption. The bill prohibits providers from refusing care or transferring patients solely due to vaccine refusal. It directly affects healthcare practitioners and patients/minors receiving vaccines in New Jersey.
