No, vaccines are not mandatory.
The SCOTUS affirmed the religious belief protection a long time ago.
If you love your kids, you protect them from ignorant, over zealous government.
So that would be considered an opt out? Like the opt out that Perry put in place? Just wonder if those parents who would opt out are held responsible if their decision results in the death of their child?
Just a thought. A 12 year old girl can get an abortion without parental notice but there is public hysteria over a vaccine with a parental opt out clause. Get real people.
