In January 2014, 102 measles cases linked to an outbreak at Disneyland were reported in 14 states. The outbreak alarmed the CDC, which declared the disease eliminated in the U.S. in the year 2000. Many health officials have tied the outbreak to the rising number of unvaccinated children under the age of 12. Proponents of a mandate argue that vaccines are necessary in order to insure herd immunity against preventable diseases. Herd immunity protects people who are unable to get vaccines due to their age or health condition. Opponents of a mandate believe the government should not be able to decide which vaccines their children should receive. Some opponents also believe there is a link between vaccinations and autism and vaccinating their children will have destructive consequences on their early childhood development.
@9CRC9HT10mos10MO
Yes, but with strict and transparent supervision over safety of such vaccines
@9CQF4CY10mos10MO
It must depend on the parents if the individual is under 13 year old and 13+ individuals should have some amount of consent over it. But Government must have cross checked right to isolate the people who are infected already.
It depends on the nature of the disease.
@9CQ8LHGIndependent10mos10MO
Yes, if the vaccinations are properly tested and have no other co morbities in the long run
It should be done under consideration of parents and consent of the child
@8YQJQRZIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes but it should still be voluntary with more funds for campaign and awareness.
@8YM6MTW2yrs2Y
As long as it doesn't affect the health then it's fine
@8VXS43LIndependent3yrs3Y
No. Rather the govt. Should focus on a public health campaign to spread awareness about common diseases and offer voluntary vaccination for the same.
@8V9GHZVIndependent3yrs3Y
Depends on the level of testing completed for the vaccine.
@9C4SMC412mos12MO
No, but it should taken from their parent or guardians money. Goverment should only pay for NGO's and Orphanages.
@9C42G6RBharatiya Janata12mos12MO
Use natural medication instead of Artificial mass produces.
@9BZFC8N12mos12MO
only in case of dangerous diseases.
Yes, and make vaccines free for all
@8S3XM9YIndependent3yrs3Y
Yes, but the Government should only take the responsibility for vaccinating children from poor families, who don't afford those vaccines. And public awareness is very much important.
@93ZP8QG2yrs2Y
No, but there should be federal regulations requiring certain vaccinations in order to attend a public school in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
@8PNDVD72yrs2Y
No, that should be the parent or guardian's choice, not the government
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
No, there are too many loopholes and legitimate reasons for people to not be able to have vaccines to institute a mandate.
@93HNT692yrs2Y
Yes, but it depends on the disease and how much research is done on the vaccine.
@2JP7NHD2yrs2Y
Yes, and there should be no exemptions unless there are allergic reactions.
@8NVXWB22yrs2Y
Yes, and set a fine for noncompliance
@9334YP32yrs2Y
No, and the government should ban the use of experimental vaccines, unproven vaccines, vaccines developed using fetal cell lines and vaccines containing any genetic material (DNA/RNA).
@dylanziehme2yrs2Y
No, everyone should have bodily autonomy. However, children who desire vaccination should be given it regardless of parental consent when the provider deems them competent to consent. Parents should be held criminally liable for child neglect if the child dies of preventable disease and full vaccination should continue to be required for all public schools and universities.
@92RSHM92yrs2Y
No and Yes, only the parent should let there child have an vax, but only if the disease is deadly, no government should mandate anything on the people
@92MKPWZ2yrs2Y
People choices what they want to do in their life.
@8ZK5HYT2yrs2Y
No, and allow parents to sue vaccine manufacturers in the case of vaccine injury to the child
@92JTPJR2yrs2Y
No, but require vaccination for public schools for known vaccinations.(like polio, not Covid vaccine)
@929DQCT2yrs2Y
No because it's like drugging someone without anything happening to someone. Even there is nothing wrong with the with children, they shouldn't have to be force to get vaccinated.
@929CSFC2yrs2Y
Leave the decision up to the parents
@9278YQJ2yrs2Y
Everyone should have a choice on what goes into their body so they should be able to choose unless it's a deadly and contagious disease.
@925VCZK2yrs2Y
I mean it's your choice i guess...
@923MMVM2yrs2Y
No , they shouldn’t require any shots other then the ones they have now or unless the ones have been fully tested threw
@9229SCK2yrs2Y
It should not be mandated but highly recommended for the well being of children.
@8ZYQ3FR2yrs2Y
They shouldn't be required and it should be up to what the parent thinks is best for their children.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, but provide tax incentives for getting vaccinated
@8ZQGT5Z2yrs2Y
for some, you should have a choice
@5BMX4XT2yrs2Y
Yes but only for the 13 deadly contagious diseases as identified by US Dept of Health
@8ZM2XXL2yrs2Y
No, but parents should be advised to do so, considering the nature of preventable diseases.
@8ZMLD8W2yrs2Y
there a lots of variables that can come into play. Can't just pick one answer
@8ZLD3KV2yrs2Y
No, but there should be limited access to things like public areas, in order to prevent the transferring of deadly diseases.
@rightandbased2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for diseases with very exceptionally high mortality and hospitalization rates, with exemptions for those with religious objections.
@8ZH6GGB2yrs2Y
no, it is ineffective and useless
@8ZH59GG2yrs2Y
No, it's up to the parents to decide what's right for there children.
@8ZGPKM92yrs2Y
no because it should be there parents or there choice (depending if there a minor or not)
@8ZGPKLQ2yrs2Y
yes if the do not follow the rules but if they are following the rules and not harming other people i do not think it should matter, if their vaccinated or not.
@8Z7PTXF2yrs2Y
Yes, and we always have
@RickStewart2yrs2Y
No government has the right to forcibly inject foreign substances into any person's body.
@8Z6JFZ42yrs2Y
10 and up I think can get vaccinated but babies or todlers should not have to get vaccinated
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, for both children and adults (with allowances for medical exemptions), at least during pandemics.
