Slightly agree

Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases

Limiting mandates to only deadly contagious diseases could be seen as a reasonable middle ground, focusing government intervention on the most serious threats and thus might be somewhat supported.

Slightly agree

No, but require vaccination in order to attend public school

This position might be seen as a compromise, respecting individual choice while also recognizing the importance of public health in communal settings like schools. However, the party's strong emphasis on individual rights might still make this a less favored option.

Slightly agree

No, but hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children

While this option involves a form of accountability, it does so by emphasizing personal responsibility over government mandates, which might be somewhat agreeable to the party's principles.

Neutral

Yes, but with exceptions for those whose religious beliefs forbid use of vaccines

Slightly disagree

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

Disagree

Yes, they are essential to protecting other children who are too young to be vaccinated
