ESSB 6297 -
By Committee on Health Care & Wellness
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1 A new section is added to chapter 43.70 RCW
to read as follows:
The department shall develop and make available resources for
expecting parents regarding recommended childhood immunizations. The
resources are intended to be provided to expecting parents by their
health care providers to encourage discussion on childhood
immunizations and postnatal care."
Correct the title.
EFFECT: Changes references to "pregnant women" to "expecting
parents."
Eliminates the requirement that the immunization information
incorporate flexible approaches to vaccinations that reflect the
perspective of the family and impacts on the child.
