AB 1797 becomes law Jan. 1, 2023
DEVELOPMENT OF A STATE IMMUNIZATION REGISTRY (WEBER)
AB 1797 mandates the vaccination status of everyone that is administered a vaccine in the state of California to be entered into the CA Immunization Registry (CAIR). Schools and other state entities will have access to your vaccination records, rather than just those of their students/patients or the particular vaccines required for school. This bill will, until January 1, 2026, additionally authorize schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies to use the specified immunization information, in the event of a for the COVID-19 public health emergency, to perform immunization status assessments of pupils, adults, and clients.
There is no opt out of CAIR. Your vaccination data will be entered into the CAIR database. You can only “lock” your or your child’s vaccine CAIR records from being shared to outside entities. For more details and what to do, click on link below.
