| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2768 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act is | ||||||
5 | amended by changing Section 76 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (210 ILCS 9/76)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 76. Vaccinations.
Pneumonia shots.
| ||||||
8 | (a) Before a prospective resident's admission to an
| ||||||
9 | assisted living establishment or a shared housing | ||||||
10 | establishment that does not provide medication administration | ||||||
11 | as an optional service , the
establishment shall advise the | ||||||
12 | prospective resident to consult a
physician to determine | ||||||
13 | whether the prospective resident should obtain a
vaccination | ||||||
14 | against pneumococcal pneumonia or influenza, or both . | ||||||
15 | (b) An assisted living establishment or shared housing | ||||||
16 | establishment that provides medication administration as an | ||||||
17 | optional service shall annually administer a vaccination | ||||||
18 | against influenza to
each
resident, in accordance with the | ||||||
19 | recommendations of the Advisory Committee on
Immunization | ||||||
20 | Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | ||||||
21 | that
are most
recent to the time of vaccination, unless the | ||||||
22 | vaccination is medically
contraindicated or
the resident has | ||||||
23 | refused the vaccine. Influenza vaccinations for all residents
| ||||||
24 | age 65 or
over shall be completed by November 30 of each year |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or as soon as practicable
if vaccine
supplies are not available | ||||||
2 | before November 1. Residents admitted after November
30,
during | ||||||
3 | the flu season, and until February 1 shall, as medically | ||||||
4 | appropriate,
receive an influenza vaccination prior to or upon | ||||||
5 | admission or as soon as
practicable if vaccine
supplies are not | ||||||
6 | available at the time of the admission, unless the vaccine is
| ||||||
7 | medically
contraindicated or the resident has refused the | ||||||
8 | vaccine. In the event that the
Advisory
Committee on | ||||||
9 | Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and
| ||||||
10 | Prevention
determines that dates of administration other than | ||||||
11 | those stated in this Section are
optimal to
protect the health | ||||||
12 | of residents, the Department is authorized to adopt rules
to | ||||||
13 | require
vaccinations at those times rather than the times | ||||||
14 | stated in this Section. An establishment shall document in the | ||||||
15 | resident's medical record that an annual
vaccination against | ||||||
16 | influenza
was administered, refused, or medically | ||||||
17 | contraindicated. | ||||||
18 | An assisted living establishment or shared housing | ||||||
19 | establishment that provides medication administration as an | ||||||
20 | optional service shall administer or arrange for | ||||||
21 | administration of a pneumococcal
vaccination to each resident | ||||||
22 | who is age 65 or over, in accordance with the
recommendations | ||||||
23 | of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the
| ||||||
24 | Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, who has not | ||||||
25 | received this immunization
prior to or
upon admission to the | ||||||
26 | establishment, unless the resident refuses the offer for
| ||||||
27 | vaccination or the
vaccination is medically contraindicated. | ||||||
28 | An establishment shall document in each
resident's
medical | ||||||
29 | record that a vaccination against pneumococcal pneumonia was | ||||||
30 | offered
and administered, refused, or medically | ||||||
31 | contraindicated.
| ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | becoming law.".
