A federal judge refused to\u00a0block<\/a> California’s new vaccination law — and some parents aren’t\u00a0happy about it.<\/p>\n

The law requires children in public and private schools<\/a> (including day cares) to be vaccinated unless they have a medical waiver. It\u00a0was approved by Governor Brown last year and went into effect on July 1, 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, parents and advocacy groups filed a lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0trying to block the elimination of religious and personal belief exemptions from the new law — it previously allowed children to enroll in school without up-to-date vaccinations if it was due to religious or personal beliefs.<\/p>\n

United States District Judge Dana Sabraw refused the injunction, so children won’t be able\u00a0to enroll in school unless their vaccinations are up-to-date. Sabraw argued that religious practices don’t “outweigh the state’s interest in public health and safety.”<\/p>\n

SB 277\u00a0was first proposed because of the measles outbreak at Disneyland in 2014. According to public health authorities, those who got measles weren’t vaccinated.<\/p>\n
