Vermont H0545 establishes the Commissioner of Health's authority to issue immunization recommendations for children and adults.

Vermont H0545 amends state law to authorize the Commissioner of Health to issue recommendations on which immunizations children and adults should receive, the recommended age, number of doses, and intervals between doses. The Commissioner must consult with the Vermont Immunization Advisory Council and consider recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before issuing recommendations. Health care professionals following these recommendations are immune from liability unless acting with gross negligence.
