The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6561, aims to amend the general statutes to mandate that all state-funded advertisements for vaccines include a clear and prominent disclosure of any potential side effects associated with the vaccine. This requirement is intended to enhance transparency and inform the public about the risks involved in vaccination, thereby promoting informed decision-making among individuals considering vaccination.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that emphasizes the necessity of side effect disclosures in state-funded vaccine advertisements. By implementing this requirement, the bill seeks to ensure that the public is adequately informed about the potential adverse effects of vaccines, aligning with public health goals and fostering trust in vaccination programs.
