This bill amends the Public Health Code of Michigan by updating definitions and adding new provisions regarding vaccines. Specifically, it introduces the term "gene-based vaccine," which refers to vaccines developed using various messenger ribonucleic acid technologies, and clarifies that "immunizing agent" does not include gene-based vaccines. Additionally, the bill modifies the definition of "camping" to specify attendance at camps for more than four school-age children for four or more days within a 14-day period.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a new section, 9228, which prohibits any person or governmental entity from ordering or administering a gene-based vaccine. It also revises section 16221 to include compliance with the new section 9228 as part of the grounds for disciplinary action against health professionals. The bill aims to regulate the administration of vaccines more strictly, particularly concerning gene-based vaccines, reflecting a significant shift in public health policy.
