Should the government require children to be vaccinated for preventable diseases?

for some, you should have a choice

No, but provide tax incentives for getting vaccinated

No clear stance given on mandatory vaccination of children, supportive of properly tested vaccines in general

No, because Stacy Abrams don’t have to.

No , they shouldn’t require any shots other then the ones they have now or unless the ones have been fully tested threw

No, The families have the right to choose whether they want vaccination.

Vaccines are a personal choice and freedom is choosing. It should not be forced nor should people be refused opportunities such as school etc. by state and federally funded organizations.

I mean it's your choice i guess...

Leave the decision up to the parents

Yes, with support

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

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).

I thank the government should not have complete control but should have a say in the matter

Yes, but this should be limited to vaccines that are not considered an ‘experimental drug’.

No, but allow people to sue parents of unvaccinated children for a small sum if their child gets sick after coming into contact with their unvaccinated child.

Yes, but only if the child and parent agree on it

Yes, but only if the parent agrees

Yes, for both children and adults (with allowances for medical exceptions), at least during pandemics.

Yes, but but only if the disease is contagious, and if those who have religious beliefs against vaccines, they would have an option for them.

Yes, but it must be decided at the state level

No the government cannot force vaccines onto you

it's up to them if they want to

No, the state should determine the requirements

People should get them if they want it and vise versa.

do not for require them

No vaccines are very bad for you especially the COVID one that is going to come out

No and the government should generally but out of peoples lives.

Kinda Sorta

I would like to know which vaccines are going into the children's body

yes all children should be vaccinated accept children who prove to be allergec to the contents of vaccines. people found to have not vaccinated there child should be charged with child abuse

Yes, for both children and adults (with allowances for medical exemptions), at least during pandemics.

10 and up I think can get vaccinated but babies or todlers should not have to get vaccinated

I think that kids should be vaccinated, but there are some kids who have severe allergies and, of course, the kids whose religious beliefs prevent them from getting vaccines. I think it really just depends on what kid gets vaccines.

No, I hate needles.

It is up to the child's parents

Yes but only for the 13 deadly contagious diseases as identified by US Dept of Health

No, but require it to attend public school and hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children

Yes, unless the child has an allergy to the ingredients (ex, egg whites); the more vaccinated people, the more effective herd immunity is for those that can't be vaccinated

it's up to them if they want to or not. it shouldn't be forced upon.

It depends, some people (including myself) are non-vaccine people due to medical reasons so not everyone should be forced too, only people who don't have medical problems.

Yes but not for Covid-19 but for actual viruses that kill people yes.

I think it is best to have the vaccine at your own risk if contracted any symptoms.

Yes, but make a few exceptions including for those who have had a bad reaction to that type of vaccine.

Yes, but only the vaccines that have been proven after years of trials to have no adverse side effects and that do not cause long term health issues. The most critical vaccinations should be strongly recommended, but not required. This is a parents choice.

How do personal or family health experiences influence your views on the necessity of mandatory vaccinations?

In what ways do you believe community health should be prioritized over individual freedom, if at all, particularly in the case of preventable diseases?

Have you ever had to alter your stance on vaccinations due to new evidence or personal experiences?

What role do you think empathy should play in deciding public health policies like mandatory vaccinations?

How would you explain the concept of herd immunity to someone skeptical about the effectiveness of vaccinations?

Reflecting on the recent global health events, has your opinion on mandatory vaccinations changed, and why?

What ethical considerations come to mind when debating the balance between public safety and personal choice in vaccination policies?

How would you address concerns from someone hesitant about vaccines due to misinformation or fear, based on your understanding and beliefs?

No, unless the disease is very deadly and it is a national emergency

Yes, however, only for deadly contagious diseases unless their religion forbids it, and they should be publicly audited, and not private owned, where ANYTHING, especially as micro-technology continues to advance could be inserted into you.

No, you shouldn't be forced to be vaccinated but if it is endangering others you should quarantine.

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.

It depends considering some kids can't have certain vaccines because of their weak body or something

Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases and with exceptions for people whose religious beliefs forbid the use of vaccines

no, it should be up to the parent if there children should be vaccinated or not until the child is 18 years of age

Yes, but only for those without pre-existing conditions in which a vaccination would harm them.

No, America is a free country, the government shouldn't control the people.

No I think the parents have the final say over there children and if the kid wants to go get vaccinated they should be allowed.

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.

For certain disease like the flu,

No, and allow parents to sue vaccine manufacturers in the case of vaccine injury to the child

No, freedom is a big part of America. Besides some children can't be vaccinated due to unhealthy reactions to the vaccine. I am a firm supporter that vaccines work, but it's ultimately the parents choice. Education that teaches vaccines are good should be given to all people to reduce the amount of people who are anti-vax.

No, only require for public schooling and hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children.

while I do think everyone should be vaccinated for preventable diseases, it's up to the parents to decide for their own children unless specifically advised (due to certain medical conditions) by a family physician or pediatrician. the government shouldn't be involved and shouldn't make it REQUIRED as that might be against some people's rights/religions.

No, there are too many loopholes and legitimate reasons for people to not be able to have vaccines to institute a mandate.

Absolutely not. It takes years for a vaccine to be complete and perfected. It would be horrible to put unknown things into a child that has been made in under a year

It should be decided at the federal government meeting.

No, the children or children’s parents should choose whether the child should take the vaccination or not.

No, they should recommend it.

I think that they should be able to make there own decisions

Yes and no--I'm not fully sure. Minimum they should be required to be vaccinated to attend public school.

we been saying what we're going to do in years and we still dont do anything to have a preventable disease just because of 1 why should we. If there was a new sickness how would we know to contain it without knowing the chemicals or anything.

only if all long term and short term effects were studied

no because it should be there parents or there choice (depending if there a minor or not)

their body their choice

Yes, and make it illegal to not vaccinate a child that can be vaccinated safely.

Only for vaccines that were fully tested and not just thrown out to the public in 5 months.

Yes, with the exception of those who are immunocompromised.

No, but schools should be able to reject students that aren't vaccinated, except in cases of sincerely held religious beliefs.

I think its up to the kids and the parents if they want to get it.

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.

Sometimes, children should be exempt if it is a provable health risk for them or goes against religious beliefs. However, those children should not be able to go to public school and put young children at risk that are too young to be vaccinated.

The government shouldn't require anything to be done to the human body.

Yes, unless the child is confirmed by a reliable doctor to be allergic to said vaccine

Depends on the urgency and disease

No but they should require vaccination in order to attend to school and jobs.

Yes, and there should be no exemptions unless there are allergic reactions.

Yes, but exempt those who may have negative reactions.

No, but use an opt-out system to distribute vaccines

Yes, unless they already have permanent immunity

Yes, but only with thoroughly tested FDA approved, non mRNA Vaccines

No, It's not the goverments job to require them.

No, but schools can require them for attendance.

Schools can require to attend, but government has no business

No, but there should be limited access to things like public areas, in order to prevent the transferring of deadly diseases.
