While California Gov. Gavin Newsom approved Senate Bill 276, a piece of legislation that further limits vaccine exemptions for children going into public or private schools in California, in September, critics have continued to express their concern.

Parents must submit a copy of previous medical exemptions to the state database by Jan. 1, 2021 for their exemptions to remain valid.
