Help Californians Protect their Physicians’ Rights to Make Vaccine Recommendations to their Patients!
Take Action Here: We need California Physicians to be able to make recommendations in the best interest of their patients!!
Professional medical decision-making by California Physicians has always been presumptively valid and honored, until the state of California passed a law that took away that long-standing presumption in the case of vaccines. Now California is allowing state government employees to over-ride a Physician’s decision when a Physician recommends protecting a vulnerable patient by giving a medical exemption to a vaccine.

This bill would return medical decision-making to doctors and their patients and keep oversight of the medical profession with the medical boards of California instead of other government employees.

The bill would:
Make all medical exemptions to vaccines presumptively valid.
Remove the ability of CDPH to revoke a medical exemption unless a doctor is disciplined by the medical board for unprofessional conduct in writing a medical exemption.
Incorporate protections that would assure California physicians will write medical exemptions without fear of retribution by the state.
