A California state lawmaker said he wants ensure that all school students in Los Angeles and throughout the state are vaccinated against Covid-19, and do to that, he announced a proposal today to eliminate personal belief exemptions and expand upon a state vaccine mandate.
“We have an opportunity here to keep kids safe,” Sen. Richard Pan, D- Sacramento, said during a California Medical Association news conference at Arleta High School in the San Fernando Valley, where the legislator and pediatrician announced details of the Keep Schools Open and Safe Act.
“As a pediatrician, parent and legislator, I am committed to giving the public confidence and certainty that we are working to prevent or slow down the next coronavirus surge,” Pan said.
“Legislators have the ability to pass laws to make our communities safe, including increasing vaccination rates to keep schools open and safe.”
Under state law, personal belief exemptions must be allowed for any newly-required childhood vaccine unless the legislature passes a law banning them.
Pan said closing the personal belief exemption loophole for the “safe and effective” shots ensures that “every medically eligible student attending school in person is vaccinated.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced a statewide school vaccination mandate, but it will not take effect statewide until a vaccine receives full approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Pan’s bill would require the shots even if they are only being offered under an emergency-use authorization by the FDA. Newsom has frequently pointed out that there are already a number of vaccinations required for shchool children in California.
Anyone aged 5 and older is currently eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine.
