The hospital I work at has moved one step closer to mandatory Flu vaccines for its employees. Last year we could opt out as long as we signed a form and watched a brainwashing video explaining how terrible we were for not getting the vaccine and how we were going to kill children and elderly and our spouses by our terrible choice.
This year, they still allow you to opt out but now they are requiring you to wear a mask on hospital grounds during flu season if you choose to not get the vaccine.

I cannot recall ever recieving a vaccine in school. My Mom always took me to the hospital, and the only two I remember are Tetenus and Polio. Could be why I also had the Mumps, Measles and ChickenPox as a kid, ya think?
I really didn't get any vaccinations until I joined the service. Then upon entry I was pumped to the gills with all that stuff. To be truthful, I never felt the worse for wear, but I did see others get quite sick.
I'm leary of any free vaccines nowadays.
Do all schools have this requirement now? If so, I would home-school my kid.
jesus, what's wrong with you people?...you have the balls to put other people kids in jeopardy, because you don't want your kid vaccinated?...take your kids away from the others and homeschool then if you feel that way. you people have taken mistrust and paranoia and turned into a weapon against other peoples innocent children

Same here. I grew up healthy as can be on the farm yet once I joined the Corps. and was pumped full of god knows what my heath has been deteriorating more and more as time goes by. I recieved a total of 6-7 anthrax shots yet my record only says 3. Many of my miltary buddies have been diagnosed with MS. I may be on my way to that as well. I actually was hospitalized in boot camp because I got so sick after all of the shots.

Yep I was fine until I was pumped up in the Army...Now look at me, a newly diagnosed MS patient, cause unknown with 200 new cases a week making it Americas new epidemic...how do we know that these vaccines are not causing this? WE DONT!!! Maybe in 10 years they will know....I also home school my daughter, better to keep her away from all that crap.
As for the OP: if you belong to a church, the school will accept a note from your priest or pastor that it goes against your religion. Believe it or not you still have some loop holes you can maneuver through! The hospital I work at also has just made a new policy for mandatory vaccinations or lose your job......
