I am a product of the VA Public and private school system. And I am currently a parent of students in the VA public school system. I vehemently oppose vaccine mandates - for our students, for our teachers, for ANYONE. Everyone should have autonomy over their own bodies and their own children’s bodies. Nor do I think you should get rid of the religious exemption for any school vaccines. 

Natural immunity has shown to be more effective than the vaccine. Why in the world would you force people to inject themselves with something that has potential side effects when they don’t even need it? 

And if a parent chooses no for their child, that should be good enough. The state doesn’t get to choose! 

NO NO NO to any vaccine mandates.
