Scott Wiener introduced the bill late Thursday in Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiving young people the autonomy to receive life-saving vaccines, regardless of their parents\u2019 beliefs or work schedules, is essential for their physical and mental health,\u201d Wiener said, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-scott-wiener-san-francisco-1878f7be2355e82c1885754fc53514c0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Associated Press<\/a> report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unconscionable for teens to be blocked from the vaccine because a parent either refuses or cannot take their child to a vaccination site,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Wiener, whose district includes San Francisco and parts of San Mateo County, also announced the new legislation\u2019s introduction on Twitter Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI introduced new legislation (#SB866) to lower the vaccine age of consent from 18 to 12. Unvaccinated teens are at risk, put others at risk &amp; make schools less safe. They often can\u2019t work, participate in sports, or go to friends\u2019 homes.

Many want to get vaccinated but parents won\u2019t let them or aren\u2019t making the time to take them. Teens shouldn\u2019t have to rely on parents\u2019 views &amp; availability to protect themselves from a deadly virus,\u201d Wiener said in another post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSB 866 builds on this existing law to expand vaccine access,\u201d he added. \u201cSB 866 allows 12-17 year olds to consent to any vaccine approved or granted emergency use authorization by the FDA &amp; recommended by the CDC. As with anyone else, they\u2019ll have to be clinically eligible for a particular vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wiener argued that teenagers should not have to \u201cscheme\u201d with parents to get a vaccine, referring to a Pennsylvania case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeens shouldn\u2019t have to plot, scheme or fight with their parents to get a vaccine. They should simply be able to walk in &amp; get vaccinated like anyone else,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Teens shouldn\u2019t have to plot, scheme or fight with their parents to get a vaccine.
