The sponsor's argument

Why Liz Krueger says this is needed

This bill requires all health care providers administering vaccines to individuals nineteen years of age or older to report those immunizations to the New York State Immunization Information System or the New York Citywide Immunization Registry, consistent with existing requirements for individuals under nineteen. Expanding reporting to adult vaccinations will ensure more complete and accurate immunization records, reduce unnecessary or duplicative vacci- nations, and support providers in managing increasingly complex vaccine schedules. It will also strengthen public health efforts by improving the State's ability to track and respond to vaccine-preventable diseases. These registries are secure systems accessible only to authorized users, and individuals retain the ability to opt out. Establishing universal adult reporting builds on existing infrastructure and ensures continuity of records as individuals age, promoting better health outcomes state- wide.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
