In January 2014, 102 measles cases linked to an outbreak at Disneyland were reported in 14 states. The outbreak alarmed the CDC, which declared the disease eliminated in the U.S. in the year 2000. Many health officials have tied the outbreak to the rising number of unvaccinated children under the age of 12. Proponents of a mandate argue that vaccines are necessary in order to insure herd immunity against preventable diseases. Herd immunity protects people who are unable to get vaccines due to their age or health condition. Opponents of a mandate believe the government should not be able to decide which vaccines their children should receive. Some opponents also believe there is a link between vaccinations and autism and vaccinating their children will have destructive consequences on their early childhood development.

Not for the coronavirus, at least
@9YNQSG5Independent4 days
No, and it should be decided at the state level
@9YN7HDVConstitution5 days
mmr chicken pox stuff like this yes, flu, corona, viruses no.
yes but only if that vaccine has been tested a lot and we trust it
No, it is unconstitutional and illegal to force that. It should be up to the parent or other legal guardian and even the kid his or herself.
Yes, for everything but COVID.
@9YMXJM9Women’s Equality6 days
Yes, except for anyone with health reasons that permit use of the vaccine, and also for religious exemptions.
@9YMNNTKConstitution6 days
yes to attend things but to a certain extent
@AVA-HOOCKVeteran6 days
For some vaccines that have been worked on for 10-15 years, but not rushed vaccines.
@9YMLZ6RIndependent6 days
Yes but with the exception of religious beliefs and medical issues.
@9YML9M9Working Family6 days
Let the parents of the children, and the adults choose if they want to be vaccinated.
@9YMJNV9Transhumanist6 days
Yes, but not for the Covid vaccination due to lack of research and it is the persons choice but children should have to be vaccinated at birth for the normal vaccinations.
Yes, kind of. Only if the disease is extremely deadly, and the vaccine is safe and effective.
Yes, require everyone in the USA to get vaccinated
If you do not have compromised immune system then you should be required
That is not the governments choice in the case of parents vaccinating their children, especially if it is against their religion.
No, because there’s never sure idea that it’s not harmful to young children
No, vaccination should be a topic of education for everyone so people understand why they’re important, but it shouldn’t be forced
No but getting vaccinated should a thing everyone does but not by force.
only one that have been proven to protect you with year s of research
Yes, they are essential for anyone who relies on herd immunity to live or stay as healthy as possible. Anti-vaxxers are killing people whose chronic illness makes them particularly vulnerable and are spreading harmful diseases.
No, but should be vaccination should be encouraged
Yes, but other vaccines that are new and not yet proven to have negative effects in the long run should not be forced on children.
Only vaccines that have years of research.
no , it should be up the the parents
Should be the parents' decision to make especially for the COVID vaccine. Other vaccines like measles, chicken pox are fine because there have been long term
They should for deadly infectious diseases but if their religious beliefs say no or it is not fully done.
I think it depends it because I will only allow a child to take a vaccine if the vaccine is 100% safe and will not cause harm.
Yes unless they have a medical condition preventing vaccination
Yes, only those that are proven vaccines.
I feel like they should be required to A certain extent. I acknowledge many peoples beliefs therefore I feel like if they got tested every week it would open A possibility to knock that requirement down.
People should get vaccinated, but still have the choice to or not.
Yes, unless they are allergic to a substance within a vaccine and/or their religious beliefs forbid use of vaccines.
as long as the diseases in question pose a threat to both the patient and public's health. Diseases such influenza, coronaviruses (viruses that cause the common cold and have the inherent ability to replicate themselves and recombine with other coronaviruses as an evolutionary survival trait to ensure they colonizes in their hosts, both avian and mammalian, and therefore cannot be practically or even impractically immunized against), e. Coli, Salmonella, etc.
Only if children want to
I think its's the parent's choice to let their children get vaccinated
Yes, but with exceptions to people who medically can’t.
no but it shuld be in the future but it needs to be a slow thing for us to grasp
it should be a parents choice to decide what's good for their child.
For some not all until older.
It should be up to the parent's and child's to decide whether they want to be vaccinated or not.
no, its their choice to do what ever to their child. but if your child is spreading a nearly eradicated disease to the others its on them
your choice whether you want it or not
they should be able to if they want to but it will be the parents or the persons choise
yes, within parent permission and not for the covid vaccine because it has not been around long enough.
It should be required if the disease is deadly unless your religion has strict rule about vaccines.
Yes, unless kids can’t get them due to health issues
They should have the right to choose whether they want the vaccine or not.
Anything but the COVID shot
Yes, but only if the vaccine will stop the spread of the disease
