I am against mandating the COVID vaccine for students and staff in Virginia schools. This is against our right to choose what we believe is best ourselves and for our own children. Mandating this is against our religious liberty/freedom to take something that we do not believe lines up with our moral beliefs.  I know that this virus is not going away, but we all need to learn how to live with it, just like we have done with other viruses.  Mandating the vaccine is not the answer - what happened to freedom of choice? I am not against vaccines - I am against mandating them and forcing us to do something that we do not believe is right for our family.
