HB 1079, the "Vaccine Transparency and Informed Consent Act," requires Oklahoma healthcare providers to give patients a written disclosure before administering any vaccine. This document must detail all vaccine ingredients (per CDC standards), development history, all known risks (including short/long-term side effects from clinical trials and VAERS data), ethical considerations (like fetal tissue use), exemption options, and information about the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Providers must obtain written patient consent acknowledging they received this information, reviewed it, and understand their right to accept, decline, or defer the vaccine. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $5,000 per incident for failing to secure consent, with repeat offenses risking professional license action. The bill directly affects healthcare providers who administer vaccines in Oklahoma.
