With the passing of SB277, the University of California also changed their vaccine policy in 2016, with the only exemption allowed to matriculate being a medical exemption, and in 2020 added a flu vaccine requirement.
In 2019, California State University also changed their vaccine policy, removing the religious exemption which had been available since 2002.

Most other universities/colleges currently still also have a religious or personal belief exemption.  If you are not able to find a university/college exemption please email info@avoiceforchoiceadvocacy.org and we can help you find the policy.


California State University

In April 2019 the CSU system changed their vaccination exemption policy to leave only a medical exemption through an executive order: California State University Vaccine Exemptions 2019 Revised Executive Order 803

Prior to this California State University had an executive order stating that a religious exemption to vaccines was available since 2002.

University of California Vaccination Policy
University of California Medical Exemption form
UCs will take titer antibody serum testing in lieu of vaccinations with just the lab report. The thresholds have to be on the lab report showing that the titers are above the acceptable level. No need for a medical exemption for titers at UCs.

A Voice for Choice Advocacy has voiced our concern both in person to the UC Board of Regents, as well as in writing.
