S 767 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Children's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

This bill establishes a statewide system for reporting vaccine side effects in children under 19. It requires health care providers (including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and emergency staff) to report any adverse event occurring within eight weeks of a child's vaccination, regardless of whether they believe the vaccine caused it. The system, managed by the New Jersey Department of Health, collects specific details like the child's information, vaccine type, and event description. Reports not already mandated by federal law must also be sent to the national VAERS system. This directly affects children receiving vaccines and the health care providers who administer them.
