<\/a>Bill eliminates most non-medical exemptions<\/i><\/p>\n

by Brian Leubitz<\/p>\n

While SB277 may have drawn a lot of attention and vocal minorities to the Capitol (and anywhere else legislators congregated<\/a>). But after the recent passage of the legislation, Governor Brown wasted no time in signing the bill yesterday.<\/p>\n

SB 277 requires all children entering day care, kindergarten or 7th grade to be vaccinated, although the legislature included a specific exemption if a child’s physician concludes that immunization is not recommended for reasons including family medical history. …<\/p>\n

Sen. Pan, speaking on KPCC’s AirTalk on Tuesday, said he was pleased that Brown had “listened to the science, listened to the facts about vaccination.” Brown, he said, has “taken a very important step in assuring we stop the erosion of community immunity in California and that we prevent diseases that should stay in the history books.”(KPCC<\/a>) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
