California Covid Bills coming up for vote this month:
https://calmatters.org/health/coronavirus/2022/03/california-vaccine-laws/
(Note:  AB1993 has been put on hold due to public push back.)

Of particular interest to parents:
SB866 - Lowers consent for certain medical procedures including vaccines to age 12.  This means children as young as 12 may receive certain medical treatments without parental consent or knowledge. 
SB871 - Adds Covid vaccine to list of required childhood immunizations for public/private schools regardless of FDA approval (i.e. can be under EUA only)  Note:  such requirement may not be just for a one time covid immunization but also include successive required boosters
   
This second bill would be a big win for Pfizer and other Covid vaccine manufacturers.  While a vaccine is under EUA, the manufactuer is shielded from liability.  This protection from liability is made permanent as soon as the vaccine is included in the list for childhood immunization.  More specifically, under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program established in 1988, once a vaccine is included in the list of required school immunization, "those claiming a vaccine injury from a covered vaccine cannot sue a vaccine manufacturer ..."  The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) was passed to incentivize pharmaceutical companies to make vaccines by shielding them from liability.  A person can file a claim with the government under this program whereby a formula is used to calculate a set compensation.  The bar for proof is very high and it is rather difficult to succeed under this compensation scheme.  https://www.historyofvaccines.org/index.php/content/articles/vaccine-injury-compensation-programs

California postpones plans to require COVID-19 vaccinations for schoolchildren:

"Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that he is pausing a state mandate set to go into effect before the upcoming academic year...On Thursday, the California Department of Public Health announced that the timeline will be pushed back to at least July 1, 2023,...

Newsom's announcement came hours after state Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) said he will pull from consideration Senate Bill 871, which would have added COVID-19 vaccines to California’s list of required inoculations for attending K-12 schools...the bill, ..., faced familiar backlash from ... parents who said the state should not make medical decisions for their children."

The next California legislative session begins in December 2022 where re-elected or newly elected officials will have an opportunity to introduce their bills. Vote according to your view, but know the delay is election related.
