Make Vaccines Mandatory to attend Calfornia Public Schools
We are petitioning the California State Government to make vaccines mandatory for all K-12 California school children, except for those with specific medical conditions and also to require schools to publish the current vaccination rate of enrolled students. This would eliminate "Personal Belief Exemptions" to opt out of vaccines for non-medical reasons.
Why is this important?
I am a parent and a physician who not only cares for my own children but all others who are put at risk by parents who choose not to vaccinate their kids for nonmedical reasons. If we can ban peanuts in school because of one child, we can significantly reduce serious risk of infectious diseases to many more children.
