Please do not mandate vaccines in schools, our children have dealt with enough trauma already these past 18 months. Forcing our children to get a vaccine that has unknown long term effects on their body can only prolong the problems that this pandemic has created. Parents and children who want to get the vaccine should be free to do so, and feel secure and safe that their child and selves are protected. Rules are currently set up to limit the amount of school missed by vaccinated teenagers. Taking away a person's right to get vaccinated for COVID is not the same issue as the current vaccines that are mandated for school. We do not have a Flu Vaccine mandate. The COVID vaccines are still under testing and experimental, please do not force parents to include their children in medical experiments. Let parents be free to make the decision for their own child's health.
