Health Care - As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee mRNA Pharmaceutical Sovereignty and Safety Act," which prohibits individuals, including professional providers of health care and veterinary medicine, from administering any vaccine or other injectable solution that contains an mRNA vaccine or vaccine material. - Amends TCA Title 33; Title 37; Title 44; Title 47; Title 49; Title 53; Title 63 and Title 68.
SB 1767, the "Tennessee mRNA Pharmaceutical Sovereignty and Safety Act," prohibits healthcare and veterinary providers from administering any vaccine or injectable solution containing mRNA technology. It directly affects medical professionals, hospitals, clinics, and animal care facilities by banning the use of all mRNA-based vaccines (like current COVID-19 vaccines) for humans and animals. The bill amends multiple Tennessee Code titles to implement this prohibition, targeting the specific medical products rather than broader healthcare policies. It does not address vaccine efficacy or safety claims but mandates a legal ban on administering these specific products.
