California lawmakers amend bill that would have allowed preteens be vaccinated without parental consent

On Thursday CA lawmakers amended a bill which would have let preteens be vaccinated without their parents' consent. Instead they raised the minimum age to 15.

The bill that cleared the state Senate last month on a 21-8 vote would have allowed those age 12 and up to receive any vaccine that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including against the coronavirus, even if their parents objected. It would have been the youngest age of consent in any state.
