SB2457

Mississippi SB2457 mandates medical examiners to report vaccinations and emergency countermeasures within 90 days prior to sudden death.

Mississippi SB2457 requires medical examiners to document in the autopsy report any immunizations and emergency countermeasures administered to an infant or child within 90 days before their death. The bill also mandates reporting these cases to the SUID and SDY Case Registry. For sudden and unexpected deaths suspected to be caused by sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) in individuals of any age, the autopsy must include microscopic and toxicology studies and a review of the individual's immunization and medical records.
