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.

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)

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: https://avoiceforchoiceadvocacy.org/action-alert-ab-1797-ab-2098-hearing/
