AB 1797 (Weber) Immunization Registry Bill is signed into law

September 28, 2022 Update: AB 1797 Immunization registry , introduced by Asm Akilah Weber, was signed into law today by Governor Newsom. Beginning January 1, 2023, all vaccines administered in California - past (as feasibly possible), present and future - will be required to be entered into the CA Immunization Registry (CAIR), causing huge privacy issues for those who do not want their personal medical information in a government database. Unlike consumer databases, government databases are not covered by the CCPA and so there is no way for private consumers, nor undocumented immigrants, to opt out. California is pushing to be the sanctuary state for health rights – abortion, transgender treatment, etc – but is forcing those who want medical privacy to get themselves and their children vaccinated out of state so there is no way their personal information will be hacked or leaked.

While this amendment request was well recieved by legislators on both sides of the aisle, Asm Weber was not willing to amend the bill to incorporate an opt-out mechanism. The AVFCA lobbyists and legislative team will continue to work to gain legislator support with the goal of getting a bill authored to add an opt-out option to the California Immunization Registry, in 2023.

Over the past 7 years, A Voice for Choice Advocacy has established itself as the leading legislative organization lobbying in the California Capitol for your health rights. While A Voice for Choice Advocacy's lobbying activity in the Capitol is important, your positive constituent relationships with your CA State Senator and Assembly Member and their staff are critical to assisting with A Voice for Choice Advocacy's efforts in the Capitol. We thank you for all your activism this year!
