After months-long hearings and debates, California state senate has accepted Assembly amendments to Senate Bill 277. The controversial compulsory vaccination proposal will now be presented to Gov. Jerry Brown for consideration.

As per the changes, no more California's personal and religious belief exemptions for vaccinating schoolchildren will be considered. For now, Brown has not revealed as to whether or not he will sign the bill or not. But its authors Democratic Sens. Richard Pan of Sacramento and Ben Allen of Santa Monica are quite confident that the bill will get signed.

Senior official in Brown's office has also stated that things are in favor of the bill. If the bill gets passed then California will become the third state in the nation for having such rules with regard to vaccination.

As per Assembly Bill 2109, parents can seek to withdraw from immunizations and first take suggestion from a health professional about the risks and advantages of vaccines. According to the bill, children who will not be vaccinated will not be allowed to attend public or private schools in California.

On the other hand, people who are against the bill were found protesting. They have objected the bill as a violation of the right to make their own medical decisions and right of children to receive education. In fact, they have even submitted a petition having tens of thousands of signatures and submitted to Bobby's office. A social campaign has also been started.
