Senate Bill 811 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the Department of State Health Services to permit health care providers participating in the federal vaccines for children program to select influenza vaccines from a list of all available vaccines that meet certain criteria. The bill also requires the department to procure an equal supply of a vaccine, excluding the influenza vaccine, from each manufacturer that produces an equivalent vaccine that satisfies certain cost and federal approval conditions, for use under the program.
