Overview
This bill updates requirements for how healthcare providers administer vaccines to patients in New Jersey. It mandates that providers give patients or their parents/guardians information about the vaccine, including the manufacturer’s insert, a summary of vaccine ingredients, and details on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Furthermore, patients must consent to vaccination in writing, and providers cannot deny care or transfer patients solely due to a refusal to receive a vaccine.
