Vaccine Mandate Comment
 

I do not believe that it is fair to mandate vaccines so strictly. Individuals should be given the opportunity for both medical and religious exemptions. Vaccines are necessary to prevent the spread of diseases with many already being required for public school entry. However, Individuals should be allowed to go to work or receive an education without fear of their first amendment rights being violated. It is important for public school counties, local governmental agencies, to uphold the rights given through the Constitution. Forcing individuals to receive a vaccine against their religious beliefs would violate such rights.
