"Informed Consent for Vaccination Act"; revises requirements for administration of vaccines to patients.
This bill changes how vaccines must be administered in New Jersey by requiring healthcare providers to give patients or parents/guardians 48 hours' notice before vaccination. Providers must provide the vaccine manufacturer's insert, information about the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), and details on opting out - including risks of disease and potential school access restrictions without medical or religious exemptions. Written consent is mandatory before administration, and providers cannot deny care or transfer patients solely due to vaccine refusal. The bill also prohibits using standing orders for vaccines except during declared public health emergencies. It directly affects all patients receiving vaccines, including minors whose parents/guardians must consent.
