If there is an Opt-Out, it really isn't mandatory then is it?

And aren't all kids "required" to have immunizations for measles and chicken-pox before they start grade school?

First, it was never implemented, the Legislature scuttled it.

Second, the opt out was ridiculously complicated and would have needed to be renewed every two years.

“If there is an Opt-Out, it really isn’t mandatory then is it?

There should be an Opt-IN. Why should it be the parents’ burden to go through govt. RED TAPE?

Yes, there are required immunizations, but should kids have to take every vaccine that comes along at the government’s whim?

Remember, even Perry apologized for this, so you are criticizing both Perry AND Bachmann, when you say that vaccines should be required.

While I like Bachmann more, there are a lot of things I like about Perry, too, but let’s not make it sound as if he’s perfect.
