Yeah, isn't that funny? Not mandated here, fortunately, even for public school students. My doctor mentioned it when I had one of the girls in for a camp physical, and I said, "No, thanks." She knows I don't go for shots that aren't for big stuff like meningitis. I haven't even gotten the two little boys chicken pox shots, since we don't have a younger baby to worry about.
It’s mandated here, but I do have to give Gov Eyebrow some credit, as much as that galls me, in that he amended it so the opt-out is much easier than the REPUBLICANS attached to it.
Needless to say, Jax won’t be getting it in the summer of ‘09 heading into 6th grade.
