An Act amending the act of July 15, 2004 (P.L.731, No.85), known as the Elderly Immunization Act, further providing for definitions; and making editorial changes.

SB 196 amends Pennsylvania's Elderly Immunization Act to update eligibility criteria for free flu and pneumonia vaccines. It changes the definition of "eligible person" to include individuals aged 50 or older for influenza vaccination (previously 65+) and 65 or older for pneumococcal vaccination. The bill clarifies who qualifies for existing state-funded immunization programs without creating new requirements or funding. It directly affects elderly and high-risk Pennsylvania residents seeking these preventative vaccines through the state's current program. The changes are primarily editorial and definitional, with no new program provisions.
