House Roll Call 1388: Passed

To require the parents or guardian of every female child entering sixth grade in a public or nonpublic school to either sign a permission form and have the child vaccinated by a health care provider with the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, or obtain and present to school officials a certificate that they have elected for the child not to receive the vaccine. The bill would also establish a child immunization advisory committee in the Department of Community Health to make recommendations to the legislature on new vaccinations that should be mandated for children.
