Massachusetts H5381 mandates provider choice in immunization brands for state programs.

Massachusetts H5381 requires the Department of Public Health to implement a provider immunization brand choice requirement in the Commonwealth’s universal immunization program and other immunization programs. This requirement allows healthcare providers to select any brand or type of immunization, provided it is licensed or authorized by the FDA and recommended by the CDC and national professional medical societies. The bill excludes certain brand vaccines based on health and safety concerns or excessive purchase costs.
