Summary of Bill HR 3348
The Maternal Vaccination Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 3348, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to promote and increase vaccination rates among pregnant women in order to protect both the mother and the unborn child from preventable diseases.
If passed, the Maternal Vaccination Act would require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop and implement a national education campaign to raise awareness about the importance of vaccination during pregnancy. This campaign would provide information on the safety and effectiveness of vaccines for pregnant women, as well as the potential risks of not being vaccinated.
Additionally, the bill would allocate funding for research on the impact of maternal vaccination on maternal and fetal health outcomes. This research would help to further understand the benefits of vaccination during pregnancy and inform future public health policies. Overall, the Maternal Vaccination Act aims to improve the health and well-being of pregnant women and their unborn children by increasing vaccination rates and promoting awareness of the importance of vaccination during pregnancy.
