Things That Make You Go Hrmmm: Nikki Haley's Secret "Push" For Child Vaccination Registry During Her Tenure As State Representative In South Carolina

During her time as a state representative in South Carolina, Nikki Haley put forth a bill in the 2005-2006 legislative session that aimed to establish an "immunization registry" for children in the state.

Haley proposed an amendment that sought to replace the phrase "shall have" with the more definitive "has" in the following statement: "The Department of Health and Environmental Control shall have general direction and supervision of vaccination, screening, and immunization in this State in regard to contagious diseases, and the department is authorized to establish an immunization registry. All persons required to be immunized pursuant to Section 44-29-180 must be enrolled on the registry unless a specific exemption is requested by the person or the person's parent or guardian if the person is eighteen years of age or younger."

Additionally, the proposed bill granted the Department of Health and Environmental Control the authority to promulgate rules and regulations pertaining to vaccination, screening, and immunization requirements, including reporting requirements for an immunization registry.

In another section of the proposed legislation, Haley suggested the inclusion of regulations that would require schools to recommend immunization for students over the age of 19, following the "Recommended Adult Immunization Schedule, United States" provided by the U.S. Department of Health and the CDC.

The bill also acknowledged that educational institutions may enforce certain or all recommended vaccinations as part of their admission policies. However, it stipulated that these policies must allow for exemptions based on medical contraindications or religious practices.
