Green card applicants mandated to get HPV vaccine

"A new mandate requiring girls as young as 11 to be vaccinated against a sexually transmitted virus before they can become legal U.S. residents is unfair, immigration advocates say.

The federal rule, which took effect July 1, added Gardasil to the list of vaccinations that female immigrants ages 11 to 26 must get before they can obtain "green cards.""

That is awful I hope that changes, because it's just not right. If people who live there don't have to have the vaccine, why do immigrants? Especially children?!

Does anyone know how to petition stuff like this... I would imagine that it would bring in a lot of votes. I think people getting involved more is a step in the right direction. I hope that something changes here as well... This vaccination has nothing to do with the spread of disease.

This is wrong, very, very wrong, and sad. : I think they should be able to get any they want, but vaxs should never be forced on people to let them have an opportunity for a better life.

So basically they are experimenting on and taking advantage of immigrants.

You could start one online, like at IPetitions. Im not sure who you'd send it to though, but I'd sign.

This is digusts me. Even a lot of people who believe in vaxes, DONT believe in this one!

Next, it'll be on the vax schedule.
