COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations; prohibit until Health Department conducts study and determines they are safe.

HB 762 would have prohibited the administration of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines in Mississippi until the State Department of Health completes a safety study. The bill requires the department to analyze existing data on vaccine benefits versus risks, including a specific one-year self-controlled case series study, and only allow vaccine use if they determine it is safe. This would directly affect all Mississippi residents eligible for mRNA vaccines and healthcare providers administering them. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
