This bill establishes new regulations regarding the vaccination of infants in Oklahoma. It mandates that health care providers must obtain prior written informed consent from a parent or legal guardian before administering any vaccine, including the Hepatitis B vaccine. Additionally, the bill stipulates that vaccinations must be voluntary and on an opt-in basis, prohibiting any requirements or implications that consent is mandatory for the vaccination of an infant.
The new legal language will be codified as Section 1-511.1 of Title 63 in the Oklahoma Statutes. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
