Vaccine bill critics swarm Sacramento as effort to scrutinize child exemptions moves forward
The California Assembly passed changes on Monday to a contentious bill that would crack down on school vaccine exemptions, taking action as protesters spent hours loudly chanting outside the office of Gov. Gavin Newsom and blocking key entrances to the state Capitol.
California already has some of the nation’s tightest childhood immunization laws, allowing doctors to excuse children , either temporarily or permanently, from some or all vaccinations if there is a medical reason.The bill’s supporters have alleged that a handful of doctors are writing unnecessary exemptions, prompting lawmakers to introduce SB 276 to create state oversight of the process.
On Monday morning, three women were detained for blocking the garage entrance to the Capitol, which is used by lawmakers as protests continued outside the statehouse.“SB 714 did not make the underlying bill better; in many respects it made it much worse,” said Leigh Dundas of the opposition group Advocates for Physicians’ Rights.
