 6 dations on the benefits and risks of the administration of COVID-19 mRNA
 7 vaccinations. Such analysis shall include, but not be limited to, a
 8 self-controlled case series which shall be completed within one year of
 9 the effective date of this act. Only after the conclusion of such analy-
 10 sis the department determines that the administration of COVID-19 mRNA
 11 vaccinations are safe may the use of such vaccine continue.
 12 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
