Absolutely not
 

At no point should this be a requirement. People are acting as if everyone is lying about side effects. I am a nurse, and I have seen 17 serious adverse reactions and several minor ones. 17 may not sound like a lot, but I am one person. My friends daughter started having shortness of breath immediately after. They thought she was having an anaphylaxis reaction, so they administered epinephrine. An hour later, she started coughing up blood. Was rushed to the ER, her lungs were filling up with blood. Her immune system had attacked her platelets and was diagnosed as a direct effect of the vaccine she had just had hours prior. I will not play Russian Roulette with my naturally immune children. If it means keeping them at home, I will do just that. Just because the child of this woman didn’t have a reaction to the vaccine, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Shame on her.
