HB 2762 Immunization against meningococcal disease at higher ed. institutions.
Introduced by: L. Preston Bryant, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Immunization of full-time four-year students enrolled in public institutions of higher education against meningococcal disease. Requires all incoming full-time four-year students, prior to enrollment in public institutions of higher education, to be immunized against meningococcal disease. This bill provides for a waiver of this requirement if the institution of higher education provides the student or, if the student is a minor, the student's parent or other legal representative, detailed information on the risks associated with meningococcal disease and on the availability and effectiveness of any vaccine, and the student or, if the student is a minor, the student's parent or other legal representative signs a written waiver stating that he has received and reviewed the information on meningococcal disease and the availability and effectiveness of any vaccine and has chosen not to be or not to have the student vaccinated. In addition, the State Council of Higher Education must, in cooperation with the Board and Commissioner of Health, encourage private colleges and universities to develop a procedure for providing information about the risks associated with meningococcal disease and the availability and effectiveness of any vaccine against meningococcal disease. The existing religious exemption from other immunizations also applies to the meningococcal vaccine.
