Although SB277 has passed and the uproar around the bill has seemingly calmed, anti-vax forces apprehend a new goal in contention with the vaccination bill.

On June 30th Governor Brown signed the controversial bill, SB 277, which mandates mandatory vaccinations for children in most public education institutions.

California law requires that children entering kindergarten are to obtain vaccinations for several diseases. However, parents are currently able to obtain exemptions if vaccinations are against personal or religious beliefs by providing documentation stating that the parents have been informed about the vaccine and disease.
