Yes, they are essential to protecting other children who are too young to be vaccinated

It is the parents choice to vaccinate there children if they want to or not for example covid came and went and i never got the vaccination

There can be different health effects on the children, especially at such a young age, and taking away their fundamental rights can be dangerous.

We are putting illness in our body and sometimes people end up with side effects that can ruin their life.

i feel like they shouldn't have to get vaccinated because everyone families don't believe in these types of things including me

Children should not be forced to be vaccinated especially if its the Covid vaccine because we do not know what the health problems may be in the long run.Only time will tell.

I believe that the people should have the option. I do not think that the government should be able to force people to take vaccines and should not have a say in a persons medical care.

If you don't want to vaccinate your children, so be it, but there have been countless tests and research that has proven that the vaccines given to kids when they are born can keep them from getting deadly viruses.

t is the parents choice to vaccinate there children if they want to or not for example covid came and went and i never got the vaccination

I think that Vaccinations shouldn't be mandatory becasue you should have the freedom to choose whether what you want in your system and what you do not want, it shouldn't be up the government.

Vaccinations should not be forced on people who do not agree or people who do not want them. People should not be forced to do something

in my opinion, the parents and child should have a say in whether they should get a vaccine. The school should not say it is mandatory because some vaccines have been proven harmful to children and adults alike.

In my opinion vaccines harm more than do good. The parent should have a personal choice on weather they want their kid to be vaccinated or not.

I would say that some children are not able to receive a vaccine due to underlying heath conditions. It could potentially harm or endanger the child.

Government is not the parent. Government is not "big Daddy" who makes decisions for our children. Stay out of the family. Stay out of our bodies.

Children should be mandated or forced to get the vaccine as they are young. They are supposed to get sick and by giving them a vaccine can affect their bodies later on.

I dont think that it should be mandatory but if the parents decide for the child to get the vaccines than that is their decision.

The government has free will and by making/forcing us to take a vaccine, they are taking away our free will, which was fought over for us to own.

i think that yes kids should be vaccinated but some can get worst from getting vaccinated and i also think that parents should have the choice.

I would say the parents shouldn't make there kids get a vaccine i feel everyone should have a choice on the the vaccines.

if kids don't get small sicknesses when they're young then when they get older and go to school and catch something, the symptoms will be a lot worse than if they already had it. Yes, it's important to keep kids healthy, but if their immune system never has to fight anything it wont get stronger and protect them from worse things.

Forcing someone to take a vaccine (especially when the long-term side effects are still to be discovered) at such a young age is a much bigger health risk than if the patient got an already known illness that has treatment. Our bodies naturally contract illnesses so they can gain their own immunity and while some like the chicken pox can replicate that, it doesn't work at a high enough consistency.

Children who are too young to receive vaccines should not be exposed to fatally unhealthy conditions or people at an excessive rate, which is the responsibility of the parent to keep their child in healthy environments until they are old enough to receive a vaccine, or until their immune system is strong enough to defend itself. People who are so contagious to someone who is not vaccinated to the point that it could be harmful to others should be isolated and treated, and their illness should not limit the choices of someone else.

Individual rights should be favored over the effects on an overall group. We have to recognize that in the real world, each individual has to put their own needs before everyone else. It is not anyone's job to worry about another person and go against their own beliefs for a stranger's benefit.

I don't have one, children's whose lives are at risk if they don't have a vaccine should be required to be given them until they can say no or aren't at risk.

Even if it is your choice to not vaccinate yourself and you are the legal guardian of your children that are under 18 then it is your choice for your children as well as yours.

Yes they can be essential from protecting children because if the children are young it could protect them in the future from getting as sick or a really bad disease.

No, I don't think vaccine is necessary for protecting little children. I dont know the statistics but I don't like it.

If your that scared of it don´t come out of the house or just do your own thing because it´s not my problem if you are that afraid of a virus

it is not the individuals responsibility to protect a population that parents can choose to protect them

My kids got the hep b shot before they ever even left the hospital from being born. I trust my doctors to know what’s too young and what’s not.

Humans survived prior to vaccines and will continue. Common sense should be used, if you are sick you should stay away from folks with poor immune systems. Infants gain their immunity from their mother's breast milk, natural vaginal birth and exposure to germs. Children that have pets and play in the dirt are healthier than children in sterile environments. The immune system needs to be challenged to become strong and resilient, if that never happens we are making humans weaker.

It doesn’t matter whether or not the others have it they can still very well catch whatever is going on.

People are responsible for keeping their families and the people they encounter safe. If children are too young to be vaccinated, it is important to build their immune system and practice good hygiene. If someone is showing symptoms or not feeling well, then they should stay at home. People need to take responsibility and not burden the government with these problems.

It is up to the parents to decide if their child needs the vaccination. Also ironically, fetuses’ cells from abortions are used for these vaccinations. Therefore, it is hypocritical that vaccinations should be enforced for children, as the vaccinations are made from people killing their children.

They shouldn’t be to young if that’s a risk they shouldn’t be making vaccines and I’m pretty sure if your “too young” and you know it was a deadly disease the pregnant mother should have gotten it and passed it too the child again if the vaccine will endanger said child for being “too young” then don’t make vaccines

i feel they should not have to get vaccinated they have choices and the family might not want them to

This isn't necessarily true because everyone is different and for some people vaccinations can be deadly and for some they work or they might not. It is a matter of opinion on whether it is good for you to have.

I believe that children shouldn't be forced to get COVID-19 vaccinated by the government because it is up to the parents.

Children should not be forced to be vaccinated especially if it's the Covid vaccine because we do not know what the health problems may be in the long run.Only time will tell. The flu shot is technically mandated but its also been a thing for very many years now and people trust it when they know what it does in the long run.

You want to give your very young child a vaccine for something that you don't even know if they will get it. You don't know what is in that vaccine, it could make your child worse.

In the past some vaccines with many many years of testing, have been proven to help with symptoms and result safely.

There are methods of accommodating each individual and their decisions. Parents who do not wish for their child to receive vaccinations should have access to facilities and institutions that provide a means of precautionary safeguards for the protection of their children, such as, a separate delivery room with greater sterilization and daycare facilities specifically designed and equipped for unvaccinated children. Since the risk of infection is highest within the child first few years, no changes would need to be made once the child enters school. There are thousands of accommodations being…  Read more offered to parents with children who believe they are transgender,, as well as accommodations for the growing number of ethnic diversities that require a specific course of action due to their cultural identity. I believe the mandate of vaccination (and all government enforced mandates) could possibly fall into the category of discrimination against the increasing minority of traditional Americans.

I would have to say that is quite unfortunate. Many children may suffer from the virus, but the vaccine would not stop it from spreading in other ways. If anything, many who have gotten the vaccine just get the symptoms masked. So they will spread it themselves. It will find a way to spread regardless, so until then keep a close eye out on your child.

Many vaccines have been shown to have negative effects in children years after they have had a vaccine. So I feel that while we should not make every child get every vaccine but require the ones that have tested to work and not cause negative effects in anyone.

If your child is vaccinated and you believe they are effective then they should be safe. Why does it matter if mine is vaccinated?

It should be up to the parent's personal beliefs I think that being vaccinated for school is fine but the parents have a choice whether they want to provide the kid with shots until they are old enough to decide.

Unless you are under the age of 3 or 4, you are generally not considered too young to be vaccinated. Younger kids need vaccinations since they have not built up necessary anti-bodies against common viruses.

Human biology allows the body to counter and create its own natural defense against diseases without requiring a vaccine. Then there are natural, safer options of aiding the body in its protection through vitamins and sanitation.

Although there is a chance that vaccines can temporarily prevent people from getting covid, there are many companies that have not properly tested the vaccines to fully ensure that they are safe to use. Some people can't receive the vaccine due to health issues that make them allergic or sensitive to it, so their health would be put at high risk if they were required by the government to be vaccinated. There have been many incidents where people had fatal reactions to the vaccine due to an underlying health issue, and these instances have been ignored and misreported on. Vaccination has always been a free choice of the people, and should remain that way.

The government wants to control everything including our bodies and personal health which is ridiculous

If young children can not be vaccinated what is stopping them from getting the disease in the first place?

This statement could go both ways because it depends on what the parents think about if their child needs a vaccination or not.

The parents need to have a say in their children's lives and vaccinations being mandatory is taking away that say with the parents.

Vaccinated individuals can still spread COVID-19, and young children are not at high risk of COVID 19

studies show that a majority of young children that tested positive for covid did not have severe symptoms hut instead suffered mild ones.

I feel that if young children's parents are worried about them getting sick then they can keep them at home until they can get themselves vaccinated if that is what they choose to do.

Yes, I agree which is why I believe that it should be left up to the school system if they want to admit non-vaccinated students.

As a parent it is ok to make a decision for your young child to get the vaccine, But let’s think about what if your child ends up sick or dying because you decided to vaccinate them to protect other children. If other parents are scared for their young child to get Covid they should take the precautions needed to try to prevent that.

Children too young to be vaccinated and immunocompromised children are susceptible to ALL diseases, not just the few that have associated vaccines. They need to be protected, but HEALTHY unvaccinated children are not carrying diseases that they have never been exposed to! In fact, young children, immunocompromised, and unvaccinated children are ALL at increased risk because of exposure from recently vaccinated children who have been given live vaccines.
