Whether or not one should receive the covid vaccine is a conversation belonging to the individual or parents of the individual and their personal medical doctor.

The state of Virginia should not be over stepping their boundaries and forcing the covid-19 vaccine on anyone and especially not children. Mandating the covid vaccine for children is wrong and not necessary. The risk of this very new vaccine that hasn't been throughly studied for use on children outweighs the benefit. 

A mandate for children will be disastrous for our schools and our state especially without the option of religious exemption. . Forcing the covid vaccine on children is an overreaction and will only provoke more resentment, division and unprecedented legal battles.
