Yes to Vaccine Mandates
 

It makes sense to implement this. Just as other vaccines are required for children to attend school, this newest vaccine for this newest illness should be required. Once the vaccines are approved by the FDA for children, I can see no reason why this vaccine would be any different from the other vaccines required. It is the same exact rationale, and most of the parents in opposition of this proposed mandate didn’t bat an eye leash at getting their children vaccinated for Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Polio, (the list goes on). For some horrible reason, this vaccine has become political, when in reality it has nothing to do with politics, but rather public health. Please use the same rationale for this vaccine as the others. Thank you.
