State/District Laws that allow Children to Consent to Vaccination:

Bill proposed by state Rep. Kevin Ryan (D), would amend Connecticut’s general statute and allow a child 12 years or older to get a vaccine without the consent of their parent or guardian, if passed. https://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/cgabillstatus/cgabillstatus.asp?selBillType=Bill&bill_num=HB5480&which_year=2023

Already, Washington DC Bill Passed Law 23-193 that Permits a minor over the age of 11 Years old to Consent to receiving a vaccine: https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/laws/23-193

Minors who are 15 years or older are able to consent to medical and dental services without parental consent. In Oregon: https://www.oregon.gov/obo/Documents/minor-rights.pdf
