New Jersey mandates flu vax

[Theoretica]

Oh. My. God.

This HAS to be stopped. Even if people are ok vaxing they should have the right to make that decision themselves.

Nauseating.

Good Lord!!!

And that poor child with eczema that keeps on coming back every time he gets his shots? Of course, no one can diagnose him. Some doctors.

I sure hope his mom finds her way here and out of NJ.

Are exemptions allowed in NJ? Is there no objection to this?

As far as I know, medical and religious. So people CAN claim religous if they want, but I suppose a lot of people don't know the details on how to do that. And I think even more people yet don't even know they can exempt because all they hear is mandatory, mandatory, mandatory for daycare and school. Some people are trying to get a philo exemption pushed through. Yes there have been objections:

Ugh. This scares me. I feel its just a matter of time until all states try this. Oh well, they will have to pry my child out of my cold dead hands to give him the shot. :

UGH... what's next? Armed guards enforcing vax? Oh... right... that happened already...

That is absolutely infuriating

Private schools do not have to accept exemptions, they kicked my daughter out if pre-school because I refused to give her the flu shot.

I'm sorry to hear this happened to you.

As far as private schools are concerned it depends on the state. I have lived in a few states where exemptions apply to both private and public schools.
