It was the same for me in school. So I don't have a problem with that. I don't really have a problem with the school offering or not offering vaccinations either. As long as the decision remains with the parent.

I jumped to conclusion with this article, but I had in my mind the recent Texas ordeal where the Governor ordered all girls to be vaccinated:

I don't want to see that happen here. Not for religious reasons of any sort, just for the fact that people should have the right to choose if they want a vaccine or not.

Offering the vaccine with an opt out = no problemo. Forcing the vaccine = big problemo.
