An Act To Increase Access To Critical Vaccinations

Summary

The bill requires the Maine Vaccine Board each year to add vaccines that are low‑cost, clinically justified, and recommended by the state or the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. It lets the board ask the state for money when federal programs can’t cover vaccines for eligible children, and it shields pharmacists from civil suits when they follow state or collaborative guidelines. The changes aim to improve vaccine access and protect providers.
