Massachusetts S2623 aims to promote community immunity by setting immunization requirements for covered programs.

Massachusetts S2623 establishes immunization requirements for various covered programs, including child care centers, schools, and recreational camps. The bill defines "covered program" and "participant" and outlines two types of immunization exemptions: medical and religious. The Department of Public Health must review exemption forms and may require exclusion of non-immunized participants during public health emergencies. The bill mandates annual reporting of immunization and exemption data by covered programs and requires the department to publish this data.
