HB 1079, the "Vaccine Transparency and Informed Consent Act," requires Oklahoma health care providers to give patients written information before administering any vaccine. This includes a full list of vaccine ingredients (per CDC standards), details on development/testing, and a comprehensive summary of all known risks (from clinical trials, VAERS data, and ethical considerations), along with exemption options and VICP information. Providers must obtain written consent acknowledging receipt of this information, and patients must be given time to ask questions. Violations carry civil penalties up to $5,000 per incident, and signed consent records must be kept for seven years under HIPAA protections. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
