Banning COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates for Minors and Requiring Parental Consent.

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Federal agencies and federally funded entities (including schools) cannot require COVID-19 vaccination for anyone 18 years old or younger. Written, informed consent from a parent or guardian is mandatory before a minor (age 18 or younger) can receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Local schools mandating the vaccine for minors will lose access to specific federal education grants (Title IV Part A and Title II Part A of ESEA).

This law prohibits federal agencies and any entity receiving federal funds, including schools, from mandating COVID-19 vaccination for individuals aged 18 or younger. Crucially, it establishes that minors can only receive the COVID-19 vaccine with prior, written, informed consent from a parent or guardian. Schools that violate this prohibition face the loss of specific federal education funding, potentially impacting their operational budgets.
