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

if its a deadly situation or disesse i feel like they shuld but at the time someone who doesnt want there child to get it for whatever reason, they shouldnt be forced

I think they should give it to families for free, but only if they want it.

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

The parents should get their children vaccinated, but government shouldn't force them to

I think they are good, but do not for requiring them.

For deadly contagious disease but with exceptions for those whose religious beliefs forbid use of vaccines.

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

do not for require them

Yes, along with, on the news, "explaining" to viewers how doctors have "changed" what's in vaccines, but also say that Anti-Vaxxers "have a shared dark secret", but they would have to look at the end of the news broadcast's speech to text transcript in order to get Anti-Vaxxers to vaccinate both their kids and themselves, but instead have this "secret" merged with the final paragraph, and say that nothing has changed about vaccines, they only said this to get Anti-Vaxxers to vaccinate themselves and their families. On top of this, funding publ…  Read moreic ad campaigns about the benefits of getting vaccinated, and the risks of not doing so, and for it, in general, being essential to protecting other children who are too young to be vaccinated. Regardless, the government should take care of this, but only at a state level.

Yes, if your parents are 100% sure that you can trust it.

no, it should be an at will decision for most vaccinations but not all

I think parents should be able to pick for their children whether or not to get one.

the parent should decide what is best and what they want to do.

Yes, but with the exception that their child not getting the vaccine isnt gonna harm or kill them

No, because people should have free will to make their own decisions

I think it should be the choice of the parent/s.

No, the government can not require vaccinations, however, funding should be allocated to the education of families on the benefits and necessity of vaccines for public health. Public schools should require vaccines.

Sometimes its against religoins to vacinate, so I say no. However if people dont vacinate, they cant blame the goverment for it.

Yes, but only with vaccinations that have been around for a while/tested multiple times.

No, Parents should choose if they want to vaccinate their kids

As a result of Covid we have remote learning and the ability to jack into any classroom with a mic and a camera, therefore excluding children without vaccine need not deprive them of schooling, so 1) I have no problem excluding children from schools who cannot or have not gotten vaccinated, and 2) parents should be civilly and criminally liable to anyone who the diseases are passed on to.

Yes, but there should be certain vaccines parents have a say on

No the parent or gardian should have full control over vaccines but should take steps to protect others.

Yes but only for deadly contagious diseases and if the government is positive that the vaccine will not affect the children in a bad way.

No but say you should

Yes but they should pay for it first.

No, they should recommend it.

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

Politcally I dont think it is the governments place to mandate something like that but morally I believe in the use of vaccines

Yes, with the exception of those who are immunocompromised.

It should be required for more deadly diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, but not for less harmful ones such as the flu.

It's not the goverments job to require them.

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

It's none the government's job to require them.

No, but schools can require them for attendance.

Schools can require to attend, but government has no business

I believe both ways because it could possibly help save a child's life, but I like for the parents to decide unless it is harming the child. Also this world is getting really soft and parents are scared about a lot of stuff.

Yes, but only if the parent agrees

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

their body their choice

Completely up the the parents

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, 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.

Yes, unless religious beliefs or health conditions forbid it

No I do not think it should necessarily be required, but I strongly believe that you should vaccinate your children.

Yes and not just the kids the parents to they say my body my choice what about the people who can’t get orange could died from those illnesses. It’s so much bigger than your body your choice it’s people’s loves if you don’t get the shot and someone dies they should be tried for murder after knowing putting people at risk.

No, exceptions can be made for deadly contagious diseases

I think that is up to the parents decision not the government.

Depends on who creates the vaccine

No, there is too much conflict of interest involved in the industry.

This should be upon the parental unit or guardians

No, it should be up to the parent's choice.

Yes, except for people who are immunocompromised or allergic to the specific vaccine.

No, but is allowed only for deadly contagious diseases and if the child wants to.

Yes, but parents should be educated in what vaccines there child is getting and seeing if they could hold it off until the child is more grown

Depends on the urgency and disease

Yes, but only for diseases that are absolutely, unequivocally fatal/cause serious illness. The point of our republic is a personal freedom and citizens should be guaranteed that, but not at the sake of the public health interest.

it depends on if the parents and children are willing

Only required if family uses government assistance

No, the government doesn’t need to tell me what vaccines I need to have. It should people’s choice not governments choice.

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.

its the parent's decision to do whatever they want

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

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.

It is up to the child's parents

No, I hate needles.

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

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

No, but fund public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits instead, and also hold parents criminally liable if their children transfers diseases to others.

Yes and No on this one because people can get the flu or even coronavirus.

Those who are not allergic to the vaccine and are able to take the vaccines should be required to take them, especially kids who are attending any form of in person school. However vaccines that have not been around for at least 5 years should not be required because long term effects aren't known and that might be a concern for many people. But between that time period people should hold themselves accountable for the decisions they make that may or may not result in them becoming sick, and or spreading the virus.

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 only if the child and parent agree on it

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.

They should be highly recommended, but not forced onto someone who is not comfortable taking it, allergic to it, or if someone's beliefs are in the way of it.

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.

voluntary, not mandatory

The government requiring anything is dangerous.

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

Yes, unless they already have permanent immunity

yes and no because everyone have there own opinion

Yes, it should be counted as child abuse if if someone doesn´t vaccinate a child that can get the vaccine.

I think it is the people's choice of the child, just like we the people have the choice to put whatever we want in our bodies.

Yes they should vaccinate their kids however there should be exceptions for kids who are sick or have medical reasons for not being able too

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

No, the Goverment should not force what you can do with your body

No because this can go against religious beliefs and some people just are against it and shouldn't be forced to do anything that they don't want to do

No, it should be a decision between the parents and the child as long as the child is 15 or older, if any younger its the parents choice.

Yes, but for kids under 12 only

No, there are children with conditions that might be harmed by vaccines.

it should be the parernts chose

It just depends, in the situation.

I think everyone should have a choice to either get a vaccine or not and not be punished or judged for the decision they have made.

Yes, but only if the child is physically able to take it without serious complications. The government should subsidize them so that they are free.

With Approval by parent or guardian

It should be decided at the federal government meeting.

i think yes but for viruses not diseases

It should be at the parents discretion.
