-- In her state Heb B Vaccine is mandated with NO opt out. --

No Opt out in Minnesota? Don't be sure about that!

www.nvic.org/Vaccine-Laws/state-vaccine-requirements/minnesota.aspx

If a notarized statement signed by the minor child's parent or by the emancipated person is submitted to the person having supervision of the school or child care facility stating that the person has not been immunized as prescribed because of the conscientiously held beliefs of the parent of the minor child or of the emancipated person, the immunizations specified in the statement shall not be required. This statement must also be forwarded to the commissioner of the department of health.

That is almost exactly the same as in Texas; and that sort of regime applies to ALL vaccinations, in both states.

I can look up and link to the relevant statutory provisions, if you like. I did look that material up for Texas. If you want to review the source legislation and regulations (for Texas), start at Post 119 in this thread, and read down to post 124.

ok, I apologize. I don't need to look it up - I will take your word for it. I had read in two different places that it was a mandate without an opt out

But the Child can get the vaccine without their parents knowledge, right?

Vaccination

144.3441 HEPATITIS B VACCINATION.

A minor may give effective consent for a hepatitis B vaccination. The consent of no other person is required.

This is confusing. Parents can opt out but students can get the vaccine without the parents knowledge or consent?
