16  
17  insert:  
18         (4)  A licensed health care practitioner may only
19  administer a vaccine containing more mercury than the maximum
20  level established in subsection (1) or subsection (2) in the
21  case of influenza vaccine, to a knowingly pregnant woman or a
22  child younger than 3 years of age if the practitioner's
23  medical judgment under accepted medical standards is that the
24  benefits of the patient receiving the vaccine to prevent a
25  vaccine-preventable disease outweigh the risks of mercury
26  exposure that could cause or contribute to a life-threatening
27  illness or condition, such as autism. Before administering the
28  vaccine, the practitioner must provide the patient or the
29  patient's legal guardian with information concerning the risks
30  and benefits of the vaccination.
