Requires medical examiners to review medical and immunization records and document any immunizations or emergency countermeasures given within 90.
West Virginia HB4666 mandates that medical examiners review medical and immunization records and document any immunizations or emergency countermeasures given within 90 days before the death of any person under age 20 who died unexpectedly. This includes cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), Sudden Death in the Young (SDY), and Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS). The bill also establishes penalties for medical examiners who fail to report these cases to the SUID and SDY Case Registry within 30 days after completing the autopsy report.
