Cost shift

Draft summary, still being checked against the official bill text. Read the source to confirm.

If passed, doctors must get a written consent before vaccinating kids, cannot take money from vaccine makers, and could be sued up to $10,000 for missing consent.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Parents will have a clear right to know vaccine risks and to hold a doctor accountable, while doctors face new penalties that may raise vaccine costs.
