The covid vaccine is yet to be approved for young children. But when it is, it is extremely important to keep in mind that even the Cominarty vaccine (which has been approved) won't even be done with final testing until next year! There simply are not enough studies to prove its safety. Also, all of the COVID vaccines are proving somewhat ineffective against new variants. There are a frightening amount of side effects that are happening to adults with this vaccine, it's dangerous for teens, and I shudder to think what will happen to young children if they are required to get it.
No one should be forced to take any shot or medication against their will or against their conscience. Virginia has always had religious exemptions for vaccines, as they should! The right to choose our actions according to our conscience is a God given right. The government has no right to take that away. Ever.
