Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1920 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the Texas Department of Health to develop continuing education programs for providers relating to immunizations and the vaccines for children program. The bill requires the department to establish a work group to assist in developing the continuing education program and materials, to ensure that a provider can enroll in the vaccines for children program on the same form used to apply as a Medicaid health care provider, and to permit providers use of the immunization registry to report vaccinations and determine whether a child has already been immunized.
