Should the government require children to be vaccinated for preventable diseases?

Yes, I do believe that children should be vaccinated. But some vaccinations seem unnecessary, and aren't used anymore.

It should probably be judged on a case by case basis, but vaccines that are proven safe or are needed immediately (rabies, something extremely fast acting and extremely contagious) could have more solid rules surrounding them.

It's their life, If kids don't want it, then they should be entitled to their opinion. They are still kids but we should hear what they have to say.

if you can catch it easy

Depends on the lethality of the disease

Unless the person has a condition where the vaccination would be dangerous, or are allergic to what's in the vaccine, yes.

There's a lot of natural/home remedies to use to prevent diseases in my honest opinion, especially if it works for me.

Yes, but if it's optional then continue to allow that. You have to get certain shots at a specific age and before you go to high school or college so I think that how it works now is fine and should not be changes.

No, all vaccines shouldn't be required like the COVID vaccine but the cancer preventing vaccine we get when we are young should be required

Yes if there parents allow it but also no if it's harmful for a child

I agree but believe the government

if the disease is contagious and will harm others, then yes.

If it is a disease that anyone no matter what age can get, I think that it should be required. Especially for school. If a parent has certain religious beliefs about vaccines then their child can be exempt. If it does not effect children, I feel that parents should have the choice of letting them get it or not.

Vaccines should be mandated only if they have credibility, not if they have just came out or have a low success rate

should be required for what’s already required. school, travel, daycare, etc for children

No, but it's up to the families to determine if they want their children vaccinated.

certain ones should be, but it needs to be FDA approved and appropriate for the age that could be receiving the vaccine.

Vaccines should be required when sufficient research has been put into them to ensure their safety

Only if its something like rabies, tetanus, ebola, swine flu, spanish flu, etc

It depends on how bad the virus is, but most of the time no one should be forced too take something

Yes, unless for proven suspicion of a potentially threatening allergic response.

Free Vaccine

I don't think it should be required because of many parents beliefs and rights of their children but I think it is important in some aspects to not transmit diseases and protect children at all possible.

Yes, all children should be required to have vaccinations that have been proven to stop deadly illnesses. However, if the illness if not deadly or does not meet the qualifications to be considered necessary for that child to have the vaccine, then I believe that then, and only then, can a child's caregiver exempt them from the vaccine for religious reasons.

unless they are allergic to the drug

Yes, but only after the vaccine, with thorough research has been tested and guaranteed to be safe.

only certain ones, not the flu vaccine.

Its up to the Parent because they may choose what they would like to do for their child

Yes, but with exceptions for those with legitimate medical conditions that prevent them from being able to be vaccinated.

yes if they need it

Yes, unless the specific child is severely allergic to the vaccination

No, but require vaccines for deadly contagious diseases if the child attends public school.

It should be the parents' decision, not the governments.

I believe kid's should take the vaccine only if it is safe for the child. Like if they health issues that make it unsafe, and I think it should be only for deadly diseases.
