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.
