Texas SB39 mandates written informed consent for child immunizations and outlines civil liability for non-compliance.

Texas SB39 amends the Family Code to require health care providers to obtain written informed consent before administering immunizations to children. It mandates that providers inform the person authorized to consent about the benefits and risks of immunizations and the procedures available under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. The bill also prohibits providers from accepting bonuses, kickbacks, or other forms of remuneration from vaccine manufacturers for administering immunizations, except for necessary costs.
