I didn’t realize the E.O. mandating the vaccine was under Perry as I don’t live in TX and that was a bit ago. I do remember following the story. As an RN, I was pretty horrified that an unproven vaccine that already had problems with serious side effects was being made mandatory, especially when it was for a sexually transmitted infection. It was also suspect for being done by E.O. with the ties to Merck which I do remember. While I realize that politicians have lots of contacts, the Merck association is highly suspect to me. One more reasons added to my list of why I won’t vote for Perry. As for the “opt out”- when I was recently considering a move to Texas, I had to request the opt out forms from the state. So...several weeks to finally get the forms to find that it’s not so simple as a signature. Thankfully, I didn’t have to move because I’m sure the exemption wouldn’t have been coming back very quickly from the state government. So, yeah, opt out after dealing with state bureaucracy and red tape.
That's certainly your choice.
