A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

H. Res. 388 supports designating the first week of April as "Adolescent Immunization Action Week." The resolution recognizes the need to protect adolescents and young adults from serious, vaccine-preventable illnesses. It encourages various groups, including medical institutions and elected leaders, to increase their support for these immunizations. Additionally, it calls for health care providers to address medical mistrust in underserved communities. Finally, it requests that the President issue a proclamation to recognize this week.
