The Community Health Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the authority of healthcare providers in the District of Columbia by allowing them to order and administer immunizations based on guidelines from competent medical and public health organizations designated by the Director of the Department of Health. The bill amends the District of Columbia Health Occupations Revision Act of 1985 and the Consent for Vaccination of Minors Amendment Act of 2022. Key changes include replacing references to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and allowing for the designation of other competent organizations through public notice.

Specifically, the bill modifies language in several sections to clarify that immunizations can be administered according to the guidelines of ACIP or other designated organizations, rather than solely relying on CDC guidelines. This includes amendments to sections regarding the recommended immunization schedules and the consent process for vaccinations of minors. The act is set to take effect after approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period, with a temporary expiration after 225 days.
