This bill amends the current childhood immunization requirements by adding a new provision that stipulates no vaccine can be mandated unless it has been demonstrated in clinical trials to prevent the transmission of any disease. Specifically, the bill inserts a new paragraph (IV) into RSA 141-C:20-a, which clarifies that the existing immunization requirements cannot compel the administration of vaccines lacking evidence of their efficacy in preventing disease transmission.

Additionally, the bill establishes an effective date, stating that the new provisions will take effect 60 days after its passage. This legislative change aims to ensure that only vaccines with proven effectiveness in preventing disease transmission are required for childhood immunization.
