Amid a nationwide measles outbreak, San Francisco City Atty. Dennis Herrera said Wednesday he is investigating whether a doctor has been illegally excusing children from mandatory vaccinations.
Herrera said he is investigating whether Stoller violated state nuisance laws by writing medical exemptions for people who do not need them.
Stoller’s attorney, Richard Jaffe, said he is reviewing the subpoena, but does not understand why the city attorney is getting involved in a health issue that should be left to the medical board or public health officials. California’s strict vaccination law, known as SB 277, left the decision as to whether a patient qualifies for a medical exemption up to physician’s discretion. There are no specific criteria that patients must meet for doctors to grant them an exemption, something specifically carved out during heated deliberations over the law when it was passed.
