California Democrat drops bill preventing student personal belief exemptions for COVID shots – By Lindsey Holden (Sacramento Bee) / April 14, 2022
California Democrats are shelving a bill that would have prevented students from using personal belief exemptions to opt-out of required COVID-19 vaccines.
Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, on Thursday announced he’s putting Senate Bill 871 on hold because COVID-19 vaccine rates, especially among children, are “insufficient” and “the state needs to focus its effort on increasing access to COVID vaccinations for children through physicians and other health providers who care for children.”
Pan also said that California needs to expand “education efforts to give families accurate information about the COVID vaccine.”
