I have a mixed opinion on this one. There are vaccines that are helpful and worthwhile, but I don’t think the state should start mandating every vaccine that comes along. Tetanus Vaccine? Yes. Polio Vaccine? Yes. But the flu vaccine? No. The flu vaccine covers the strains guesstimated to be prevalent for that season, but mass immunization is no guarantee of stopping it, and it’s not likely that it will eradicate the disease. (Tetanus is not likely to be eradicated, but the vaccine is highly effective, and the disease is devasting).
