California lawmakers voted on Thursday to
substantially limit vaccine exemptions for school children, an
initiative prompted by last winter's measles outbreak at Disneyland that sickened 147 people.
The bill, which would make California the third
state to eliminate religious and other personal vaccine exemptions,
passed the state Assembly in a form that would give some parents years
to comply, compared with a stronger version of the bill that was earlier
approved by the state Senate.
The measure sparked angry opposition from
parents who fear side effects from vaccinations as well as from some
religious conservatives.
