Minnesota
As a minor in Minnesota, can you consent to vaccinations?
The actual law:
“A minor may give effective consent for a hepatitis B vaccination. The consent of no other person is required.”
Minn. Stat. Ann. § 144.3441
What this means:
In Minnesota, minors of any age do not need their parent’s consent to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine. They still must have parental consent to receive all other vaccinations.
Note: Minors can receive some health care services without parental consent in Title X-funded clinics. Call a nearby clinic to see if they will administer vaccinations without parental consent or your state health department for more information.

While minors can only currently receive the Hepatitis B vaccine without parental consent in this state, there is a proposed bill granting minors the ability to self-consent to the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Check this page for updates or track the bills yourself here.
