LD 1408, An Act to Establish the Universal Childhood Immunization Program, has passed both chambers of the state Legislature and been signed into law by the Governor.
The program provides universal immunization coverage to children in the state by purchasing and making available to health care providers every vaccine for childhood immunization that is recommended by the US CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, approved by the FDA, and available under contract with US CDC.
