LinkLinks DCist: D.C. Approves Bill Allowing Vaccines For Some Minors Without Parental Consent By Editor On Jun 29, 2022 Last updated Jun 29, 2022 35 Share A federal judge recently blocked D.C. from enforcing a local law that allows minors to get vaccinated without parental consent. The D.C. Council just took another shot at legislation aimed at withstanding legal challenges, passing emergency legislation on Tuesday to allow certain minors to get vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention without the consent of their parent or legal guardian, including those who are emancipated or unaccompanied homeless youth. The legislation also allows vaccine providers to accept the consent of a minor if they made a reasonable attempt to notify a parent or legal guardian. 35 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
