Establishes Children's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.
This bill establishes New Jersey's Children's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (CVAERS) within the Department of Health. It requires healthcare providers (including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and emergency staff) to report any side effects experienced by children under 19 within eight weeks of vaccination, regardless of whether the provider believes the vaccine caused the reaction. Reports must include child and provider details, vaccine information, and the adverse event, but identities remain confidential. The system will share anonymized data with federal vaccine safety programs (VAERS) when required, supporting vaccine safety monitoring without disclosing personal information.
