HB466

Kentucky HB466 mandates immunizations for children and tuberculosis testing for school entrants.

Kentucky HB466 requires parents, guardians, and caregivers to immunize children against specific diseases. Schools and licensed child care facilities must ensure children have current immunization certificates. The bill also mandates tuberculosis testing for first-time school enrollees, with subsequent testing based on epidemiological assessments. Exemption forms must be available at schools and child care facilities. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services cannot require additional immunizations without General Assembly approval.
