Written consent required for Texas COVID-19 shots
Beginning September 1, 2025, Texas vaccine providers must get written informed consent before giving a COVID-19 vaccine. A parent, guardian, or conservator may consent for a minor or someone who lacks the mental capacity to consent. The consent must acknowledge receipt of a standardized information sheet that the state health department must develop. The sheet must explain vaccine benefits, risks, possible side effects, and the fast-tracked development process. It must state whether long-term scientific studies have been done and whether manufacturers face civil liability for vaccine injuries. It must also give clear instructions for reporting injuries or reactions through the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. Licensing authorities may discipline providers who violate these requirements using their usual disciplinary procedures.
