California will enact sweeping new restrictions on medical exemptions for vaccines under bills signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday, despite near-constant protests in the state Capitol that resulted in arrests after opponents blocked entrances to the statehouse and temporarily shut down legislative sessions.
Together the two bills would create state oversight of medical exemptions for vaccines required to attend public and private schools, as well as day care centers. 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.
