MN HF2523

Requires healthcare providers to give patients (or parents/guardians of minors) a "Minnesota Informed Consent Form" before administering vaccines or medicines manufactured with or containing human fetal cell components, DNA, recombinant DNA, monoclonal antibodies, or other fetal-derived components.

Mandates the Department of Health create and maintain the informed consent form on its website for provider use, disclosing that certain vaccines were developed using cell lines from electively aborted fetuses.

Specifies a table listing vaccines containing fetal cell components (chickenpox, hepatitis A/B, measles/mumps/rubella, polio, rabies, and shingles) along with brand names and any available alternatives without fetal material.

Requires the form to note that it does not replace existing Vaccine Information Statements required by the Centers for Disease Control.

Obligates the Department of Health to update the form whenever new vaccines or medicines containing fetal cell-derived components become available.
