California is considering what would be the strictest vaccination law in the country if it passes, making medical exemptions much harder to get.
If this law passes, California will have some of the strictest vaccine rules in the country, lawmakers everywhere are pretty stuck about how to legislate people’s health to combat anti-vaccine parents. But in California, legislators don’t seem to be afraid to lead the way.
Basically, the new law would make it easier for the state to crack down on bogus medical exemptions that certain unscrupulous doctors have been giving out for a fee. This comes after a statewide analysis showed that in many California schools, more than 10 percent of kids are missing vaccines because they have medical exemptions. Statistically, though, only about 1 percent of kids should have a medical condition that would legitimately prevent them from being able to safely receive vaccines. And it’s that 1 percent of kids who are in danger when so many other kids don’t get vaccinated.
