Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 280 amends the definition of "vaccines for children program" to specify that the program includes the program allowing each health care provider participating in the federal vaccines for children program to select vaccines from a list of certain recommended vaccines and to use combination vaccines. The bill also requires the Texas Department of Health to develop a request for information to obtain information from private entities to determine whether those entities could more effectively store and distribute vaccinations used in the vaccines for children program, and it provides for the use of funds saved from more efficient and effective storage and distribution of vaccinations.
