This bill amends the current childhood immunization requirements by adding a new provision that stipulates that no vaccine can be mandated unless it has been demonstrated in clinical trials to prevent the transmission of any disease. The specific legal language inserted into the law is: "Nothing in this section shall require a vaccine that has not been shown in clinical trials to prevent transmission of any disease." This addition aims to ensure that only vaccines with proven efficacy in preventing disease transmission are included in immunization mandates for children.

The bill does not delete any existing legal language but rather adds a new paragraph to RSA 141-C:20-a, which outlines the conditions under which vaccines may be required for childhood immunization. Additionally, the bill specifies that it will take effect 60 days after its passage, allowing for a brief period for implementation and compliance with the new requirements.
