Mandatory vaccines take away a parent’s right to choose what goes into their child’s body

Avoiding certain vaccinations is downright child neglect, as it not only raises the chance of your child being harmed but also risks harming other children, including those with immune complications. Herd immunity works wonders, as we’ve seen with the eradication of polio, and therefore government enforcement of vaccinations has merit.

Education would prove that vaccines are safe and effective when it comes to strengthening children’s immune systems. Regardless of parents’ personal beliefs, it is irresponsible to expose non-vaccinated children to others as it could increase their risk for contracting harmful diseases.

Vaccines should be taken by any child because they prevent preventable diseases that children have historically caught and died from data shows that Vaccines have increased infancy mortality rates.the medical professional knows better than the parent and the parents' personal beliefs shouldn't dictate the child's health or potential health risks

Parents absolutely have wide latitude to make medical decisions for their children, but that authority has limits when individual choices create measurable risk for others. Vaccines are not solely a personal health decision; they are a population-level safety measure. When vaccination rates drop below certain thresholds, diseases that were previously controlled return and children who cannot be vaccinated—because of age, immune compromise, or medical contraindication—are put at risk through no choice of their own.

Every child is different, but infectious diseases do not respect tho…  Read morese differences. Measles, polio, and whooping cough spread based on exposure, not belief or comfort level. Mandatory vaccination policies exist not because governments distrust parents, but because voluntary compliance historically fails to maintain the level of immunity required to prevent outbreaks. This has been repeatedly demonstrated when exemptions rise and disease resurges.

Everyone should have the necessary vaccinations whether they want to or not because even if the unvaccinated person has no symptoms they put everyone else at risk for serious illness that could have been prevented.

Although every child different and certain families believe that they get to make a decision on the child’s behalf, it would not be fair to those others that surround the child, such as in schools. Every child is different, therefore there are some whose immune system may struggle.

It is also a parent’s duty to prevent any opportunity from their children getting sick and be responsible for their child’s health. Belief cannot save their child from actual harmful viruses, if anything parents should provide their children the best protection against any possible disease. If a parent refuses to vaccinate their children, it poses more risk towards themselves and others. Therefore, people have the right to refuse their child if they pose a health risk towards other children.

Mandatory vaccines while taking away choice helps us in ensuring deadly diseases such as tuberculosis, whooping cough, and etc are contained and do not resurge in our society. If enough of the population isn’t vaccinated, these diseases can and will come back.

He was to let the parents decide what they are going to teach their kids, or what they are going to tell them, what respect means to them.

I fully agree with this comment. Nobody should ever be forced to get vaccines. I don't get vaccines and I think that I am healthier and have fewer health concerns than friends who have gotten vaccines.

I think children must take the vaccines even if the parents don’t want, because not taking it can lead to infections of diseases in the future that might hurt not only the parents but others around them.
