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.

@9RTFW3RLibertarian11mos11MO
Yes but only for contagious diseases. If parents choose to opt their children out for the rest of the vaccines then their kids should not be allowed in public places.
@9DH73YT2yrs2Y
i think kids should be vaccinated but i don’t think it should be forced by the government
@9B8NHYYRepublican2yrs2Y
Yes, if the vaccine has been around for more than 50 years and effects of the vaccine has been researched.
@96GD26K3yrs3Y
No I feel it should be up to the parents if their children should be vaccinated or not.
@95PZZ3G3yrs3Y
No you can’t force someone to get a shot when the government doesn’t even tell what’s in the shot
@92QNX6H3yrs3Y
Should be peoples choice
@8Z83LJ63yrs3Y
only if that person wants to take the vaccine
@8YD8FJJ3yrs3Y
If the parents want there young kids to be vaccinated that’s if not that’s fine as well
@8XWB27Q4yrs4Y
honestly yes and no it really all depends on the kinda disease but if they have a certain religious belief they shouldn’t force them and if a child is too young they shouldn’t force them it all depends
@8X9STST4yrs4Y
Kids should not be required to get Covid vaccine but other sickness yes!
@8X8JXX94yrs4Y
No, this should be the right of each individual to decide what to put in or not put in their own body. Government should stay out of the body and not be able to coerce any individual on this issue.
no because it should be the parent’s decision and the childrens.
@8QC7T7L4yrs4Y
No, they should hold the FDA responsible for vaccine injuries and stop using tax payer money to bail them out
@99MFS4G2yrs2Y
Nobody should force us to get vaccinated if we don't want, however we still have to be responsible of our actions and consequences.
@99JZMMR2yrs2Y
Only if they get consent from parents
@99JDFD82yrs2Y
Yes, but not in the cases of shots for covid or the flu
@98TKN2M2yrs2Y
@98T43SD2yrs2Y
It is the parents opinion
@98DC9C42yrs2Y
Yes, and hold parents criminally liable if they do not
Yes, but screen for allergies before hand
@97PCPS53yrs3Y
No, it’s creepy to think anyone, let alone the government, has any right to put something into your body without consent
@9788XP43yrs3Y
Yes for true vaccines. The Covid-19 vaccine cannot be considered a vaccine because it won’t prevent the contraction or spread.
@977GCYQ3yrs3Y
yes, unless other medical or religious prevention
@8YRCVHCRepublican3yrs3Y
Healthcare choices should be left to parents
@8XKG2KHRepublican4yrs4Y
No, vaccination should be a topic of education for everyone so people understand why they’re important, but it shouldn’t be forced
