A California senator who successfully
fought to make vaccines a mandatory requirement for most school kids is
now fighting to keep his job in the face of recall efforts from
opponents of the new law.
A petition to recall state senator Richard Pan, a pediatrician, over his support for compulsory shots was approved by the California secretary of state this week.
Pan, a first-term senator, authored and championed SB277, a bill recently signed into law that removes personal belief exemptions, including religious objections, for vaccinations of school kids. It makes it harder for parents to opt out of a list of 10 shots which will be required beginning in 2016 for all students in both public or private school who do not have a medical waiver.
Once the law goes into effect, parents who do not wish to vaccinate must homeschool their children in either individual or group settings.
