AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH AND SAFETY -- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Summary

The measure updates the Department of Health’s immunization program to cover all routine childhood and adult vaccines recommended by national advisory groups, and creates an advisory committee to review those recommendations. It also broadens the state’s health‑care‑provider shield law to treat the administration of these vaccines as a legally protected activity, shielding providers from hostile lawsuits. The changes affect patients, providers, insurers and the state health system by clarifying coverage and protection for standard vaccinations.
