Varicella (for chicken pox) is required here in Texas.

Varicella also causes shingles in adults. These kids won’t have to deal with that, either, which is a very good thing.

Flu strains vary from year to year, a continual menace. There is no true vaccine, and the yearly shot is a guesstimate.

You’ll note that Perry only got in trouble over a vaccine that assumes young girls will engage in slutty behavior.

No it's not. It has a bureaucratically easier opt-out than what Perry proposed for HPV vaccination.

All vaccines in Texas are subject to opt-out.
