For my entire 6 elementary school years, parents had to bring PROOF of your innoculations, or you did not get into school, no opt out was available. Mumps Rubella Polio, get the shots, or forget getting an education. I think it;s unfair for Bachmann to try to politicize that, She’s older than me, I KNOW she has a scar on her left shoulder from those days on Government innoculations too!
Part of the recent outbreaks of whooping cough and TB can be traced to illegals in grades K-12 that have not been innoculated against these disease or living in household where they are hosts because they have built up an immune system against them.
