"Children's Vaccination Bill of Rights"; provides children in State with certain protections concerning vaccines.
This bill establishes a "Children's Vaccination Bill of Rights" for children in New Jersey, directly affecting parents and healthcare providers by changing vaccine policy requirements. Key provisions require independent safety testing of vaccines, mandate detailed informed consent about ingredients and risks before vaccination, and grant parents final authority over vaccination decisions based on scientific evidence. The bill also requires the state to be liable for vaccine injuries, provide clear legal recourse information, and apply protections equally regardless of race, religion, or economic status. It explicitly prohibits vaccine mandates as a condition for public school enrollment under the state constitution.
