Missouri HB1679 amends Chapter 191 by adding a new section that prohibits health care providers from refusing, withholding, or denying any health care service to a minor child based on the child's vaccination status. The bill defines "health care provider" and "health care service" using existing terms from section 376.1350 and defines "vaccination status" as a child's status regarding whether they have received a vaccination.
