"Informed Consent for Vaccination Act"; revises requirements for administration of vaccines to patients.
The Informed Consent for Vaccination Act (A1307) requires New Jersey health care providers to give patients (or parents/guardians for minors) at least 48 hours before a vaccine: the vaccine’s manufacturer insert and detailed information about the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), including how to report injuries. Patients must sign a consent form confirming they received this information and understand the option to decline the vaccine, along with explanations of risks like disease transmission or school exclusion without a medical/religious exemption. The bill also prohibits providers from refusing care or transferring patients solely due to vaccine refusal and bans vaccine administration via standing orders except during declared public health emergencies. This applies directly to all health care practitioners administering vaccines in New Jersey.
