I oppose mandating the COVID 19 vaccine for teachers and students. This a a new vaccine with no data on long term effects of the vaccine. People should be able to choose for themselves whether or not to receive this vaccine based on their particular circumstances, their particular risk, and the available data. Existing required vaccines have been fully approved for years and have long term study data. Additionally, all required vaccines allow religious and medical exemptions. The COVID 19 vaccine has no long term study data and is being petitioned to not allow religious exemptions.
