Mandating vaccines for children removes the ability for parents and physicians to decide what is best for the health and welfare of each individual child.  The vaccines that are currently available do not prevent spread of the COVID-19, nor do the vaccines prevent anyone from getting the disease.  Most professionals accept at this point that this is a virus that will not be eradicated.  We should learn to adjust to managing it with treatment as well as vaccines for the most vulnerable.  Children's bodies need a chance for their own immunity to mature and are not in the most vulnerable category. Therefore, it would be more advisable to take a true medical, non-mandated public health approach and allow individual medical choice help us fight and manage this disease.
