A bill passed through the state Legislature on Thursday that would require doctors to provide information on the “benefits and risks” of vaccines to parents before administering the procedure.

HB 3016 would make health care providers give parents a copy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study "Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases,” as well as information on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Co-author of the bill Senator Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, said the measure was a way to offer reassurance to parents who are vaccinating their children.

Senator Ervin Yen, R-Oklahoma City, who is a cardiac anesthesiologist, opposed the bill on the Senate floor.
