AB 1797 Immunization registry, introduced by Asm Akilah Weber would add
race/ethnicity to the information recorded in the CA Immunization Registry,
would require all vaccines to be entered into the CA Immunization Registry
(CAIR).  Schools and other entities would
have access to all vaccine records, rather than just those of their
students/patients or the particular vaccines required for school, during a
public health emergency.

AB 1797 will be heard in the Assembly Health Committee on Tuesday,

A Voice for Choice Advocacy sent a detailed letter to the Assembly
Health Committee outlining our numerous concerns with the bill.  You can read our letter here:

AB 2098 Physicians and surgeons: unprofessional conduct, introduced by
Asm Evan Low,  would designate the
dissemination or promotion of misinformation or disinformation related to the
SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or “COVID-19,” by a physician or surgeon as
unprofessional conduct, allowing the Medical Board to take action against such
physician or surgeon.  Board will base
their consideration on “applicable standard of care” and “contemporary
scientific consensus” neither of which currently exist for
COVID-19.(https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2098)

AB 2098 – Email the Assembly Business and Professions Committee

A Voice for Choice Advocacy has made it easy for you to email the
Assembly Members on each of the respective Committees to ask them to Oppose the
bill before them.  For legislators to
read your email (and not assume it as a mass marketing campaign), it is
important that your letter is personalized to your situation, so be sure to
outline how AB 1797 and AB 2098 would affect you and your family.  You can use some of the talking points from
AVFCA's letters (linked above) but don't copy them!

2) If you are a MD or DO, share this with your colleagues, and ask them
to oppose AB 2098

3) Forward this email to anyone in California, especially doctors and
parents.  Share this email on social
media:
