While there's no specific record of his stance on mandatory vaccinations, his overall approach to public health suggests he would likely support such measures.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases

Agree

No, but require vaccination in order to attend public school

Johnson might agree with this approach as a compromise, given his pragmatic approach to policy-making. However, there's no specific historical evidence to suggest this would be his preferred approach.

Agree

Yes, but with exceptions for those whose religious beliefs forbid use of vaccines

Johnson was a strong supporter of religious freedom, so he might support exceptions for religious beliefs. However, his commitment to public health might lead him to prioritize the collective good over individual beliefs in this case.

Agree

No, fund public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits instead

While Johnson might support public ad campaigns as part of a broader strategy, it's unlikely he would see them as a substitute for mandatory vaccinations given his strong commitment to public health.

Slightly agree

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

While Johnson did support states' rights in some contexts, he also believed in the power of the federal government to address national problems. He might support a state-level approach to this issue, but it's more likely he would see it as a national responsibility.

Disagree

No, but hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children

Johnson's approach to policy-making was generally more focused on creating positive incentives than on punitive measures. It's unlikely he would support criminal liability for parents in this context.
