Proposed Bill Will Require K-12 Students To Get COVID-19 Shots
(Sacramento, CA) — State lawmakers will soon consider a bill to make COVID-19 shots mandatory for K-12 students. State Senator Richard Pan of Sacramento proposed the bill that removes a religious exemption but allows a medical exemption for vaccinations. Pan says that his bill is designed so schools can stay open and students, faculty, and staff can be safe from a viral outbreak. Assemblyman James Gallagher from Yuba City took to Twitter to voice his opposition to the bill, calling it an “unconscionable overreach into the family.”
