Provides for identification and study of infant fatalities and near fatalities resulting from vaccination; requires inclusion of vaccination information in sudden infant death reports; and requires use of federal infant death reporting form.
Impact
By requiring the inclusion of vaccination information in sudden infant death reports, the bill aims to gather crucial data that could elucidate any correlations between vaccines and infant deaths. The bill further stipulates that the review board engage in ongoing studies to analyze patterns and causes of infant fatalities, which could lead to significant policy recommendations aimed at mitigating risks associated with vaccinations while balancing public health imperatives to prevent communicable diseases.
Summary
Bill S656 is designed to enhance the identification and study of infant fatalities and near fatalities that may stem from vaccinations. The legislation mandates that the State's Child Fatality and Near Fatality Review Board must actively identify cases of infant deaths and near-deaths that have resulted, in whole or in part, from prior vaccinations. This involves a systematic review of incidents reported under the Sudden Unexplained Infant Death Investigation Reporting Form (SUIDI form), which must now also include detailed vaccination history from the time leading up to the incident.
Contention
There may be notable points of contention surrounding the implementation of S656. Supporters argue that it will provide necessary oversight and encourage a data-driven understanding of risks linked to vaccinations, improving safety protocols. However, opponents could raise concerns about the implications of suggesting a link between vaccines and infant fatalities, potentially fueling vaccine hesitancy. Additionally, the effectiveness of the review process and its ability to draw valid conclusions from complex medical data may also be debated, reflecting broader societal concerns regarding public health and vaccination.
