Parents still support vaccine mandates for measles, polio: Survey

Sorry RFKrazy Jr & State of Florida


A new survey shows parents still overwhelmingly support vaccine mandates for measles and polio, as Florida moves to remove immunization requirements for school-aged children and other states consider changes to their laws.

A Washington Post-KFF poll found that 81 percent of parents support requirements for measles and polio vaccines, while 18 percent do not. One percent of participants skipped the question.

Because most people aren’t weirdos who think that they are so special that they don’t need vaccines.

Sadly.. the anti vaxxers like the people who worked to abolish abortion have an inexhaustible supply of energy and time to make everyone else live the way that they want.

Depends on the state.
Where I live school-required vaccinations are free or low-cost for children who are uninsured, on Medicaid, underinsured, or of American Indian/Alaska Native descent.
Those with private insurance should check their plan for coverage and potential out-of-pocket costs.

OK thanks. I was pretty sure that those that have financial reasons can always get their kids vaxxed.

So my question remains, and is probably rhetorical at this point...will states such as FL stop offering those free or subsidized vaccinations?
