California Governor Signs Strict Law Requiring Vaccinations for Most Kids
USA Today’s Liz Szabo reports that California Governor Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed legislation preventing California children who are unvaccinated due to religious or personal beliefs from attending school. Parents may still opt not to vaccinate their children, but only for medical reasons. “As the largest state in the country, we are sending a strong signal to the rest of the country that this can be done, that science and facts will prevail to make sound laws,” Sen. Richard Pan said.
