HB 2368 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Repeals provisions relating to COVID-19 vaccination status with respect to organ transplant procedures

HB 2368 prohibits hospitals and medical professionals from considering a person's COVID-19 vaccination status when evaluating them for organ transplants, except in cases involving lung transplants. The law specifically bars the use of vaccination records during various stages of the transplant process, such as patient referrals, waiting list placement, and donor suitability assessments. This measure directly affects healthcare providers, procurement organizations, and individuals seeking or donating organs by removing vaccination history as a factor in transplant decisions.
