Call to Action! AB 659 HPV Bill is Misleading
CALL YOUR ASSEMBLY MEMBER NOW
Find and call your legislator here, say your name and city, and let them know you oppose AB 659. The bill text is misleading and implies that the HPV vaccine is still required because it is ‘public policy’ and is an expected requirement. This is not true and it is important to kindly tell your assembly member how this is unclear to the general public. Act now as it is moving quickly!
UPDATE: California’s HPV Bill AB 659 has been amended. The HPV mandate for colleges in California has been dropped. Continue to encourage the writers to remove the misleading verbiage that could cause students to believe the vaccine is still required.
Please call Assembly Member Cecilia Aguilar Curry’s office to thank her for dropping HPV college mandate. Include the request to change the bill verbiage ‘expected’ to ‘recommend’ for clarity (916) 319-2004.

California’s HPV Bill AB 659, continues to be an important subject in California. It was a great win for AB659 to be amended, in which the grades 8-12 HPV vaccine mandate was removed. But not without a catch; Human Papillomavirus is now listed as one of the diseases for which immunization documentation is required for California college students, ages 18-26, enrolled in Community College, UC and Cal State Universities. To opt out, the only option will be a medical exemption.
UPDATE: HPV Mandate Dropped for Grades 8-12 While the College Mandate Remains — This Fight Isn’t Over!
Lawfirm Wisner Baum has lawsuits against HPV vaccine manufacturer Gardasil. The dangers of the HPV vaccine are well documented and it is essential we resist this mandate.
