Provides for identification and study of infant fatalities and near fatalities resulting from vaccination; requires inclusion of vaccination information in sudden infant death reports; and requires use of federal infant death reporting form.
This New Jersey bill (S 656) requires doctors to include an infant's vaccination history from the past six months in sudden infant death reports. It mandates that these reports, using a federal form, be submitted to the Child Fatality Review Board within 10 days. The board will then specifically study whether infant deaths or near-fatalities might be linked to vaccination, analyzing patterns and rates. The goal is to identify potential vaccination-related incidents and inform future public health actions, while maintaining routine vaccine safety.
