This bill mandates that a parent or legal guardian must be present when a vaccine is administered to a minor. The new legal language proposed in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 145, specifies that health care providers are only permitted to administer vaccines to minors in the presence of their parent or legal guardian. However, this requirement does not apply to certain vaccines for which the minor has provided consent under existing laws (sections 144.341, 144.342, or 144.3441).

The bill also includes an effective date, stating that the new provisions will take effect the day after the bill is enacted. This legislation aims to enhance parental involvement in the vaccination process for minors, ensuring that guardians are present during such medical procedures.
