My son is updated on all vaccinations.

No they should not be mandatory. There are mandated vaccines and that means that there is a specific rule of thumb to follow, but there are exceptions. In every state there are waivers for religious, medical, and philosophical exemptions. I personally will be excersizing my right to refuse them for my child. That is my choice. There are too many known toxins in vaccines. Mercury, lead, aluminum, formladehyde, phenols, and other toxic chemicals. They are not tested for carcinogenic potential. I do not feel that they are safe. It is up to me to protect my child, and I feel that the risks of not vaccinating outweigh the benefits. Honestly, what is so wrong with children gaining natural immunity for life? "Immunity" from vaccinations is only temporary. That is why they have to get boosters. There are also not enough studies that prove the efficacy of the vaccines. Chicken pox used to be a normal childhood thing, and then children had lifetime immunity. This vaccine also uses aborted fetal cells... I just do not think that the risk is really there. Viruses also mutate, so vaccines for viruses are a scam. Everyone has to make that choice for themselves. When the government begins to step in, then we are no longer free.

Absolutely ! I have seen the horrible damage that those preventable diseases can do to little children. Here in Australia we have a "no vaccination - no enrolment" rule for kindergartens and schools. But a lot of "non-vaccinators" are also home-schoolers...and so the diseases continue to exist.
Unfortunately, it is tiny babies who suffer the most - an unvaccinated 5 year old can get, say, measles, and be OK. But they then spread it to a tiny baby at the shopping centre, and the baby ends up really ill in hospital because of the slackness of the 5 year old's parents.
The whole thing makes me so mad - good old "freedom of choice' is sometimes not the right way to go. I believe that the law should be changed to "no vaccination for your child - you get taxed more". That might do it !

Yes, we got rid of Polio, with sugar cubes, didn't we. There are just too many bad germs and viruses out there these days, and with world wide travel who knows what is out there.
TB also was taken care of, except for the rare case that pops up once in a while, then they are like ants on sugar, with confinment of that person, and trying to find out who else they may have been in contact with. Plagues can be nasty things wiping out whole countries if let spead. True there can be some adverse effect for some people with some vaccines, but for the most part they are benificial.

I think all parents should be made aware of the consequences of giving or not giving the vaccinations. After working with MR/DD for so many years, I'm aware of the damages that can occur, but as a parent who had to have my children vaccinated or they couldn't go to school. I acted against my feelings. Another case of the Gov, dictating without informing.

I would say that yes most should and because of being the parent of two autistic children that would upset many. I'm just SURE that vaccines were not the cause.
They are not mandatory in most states. You can get paper work refusing them and alot of people are now doing that. You may also claim that it is for reasons of your religon . With the paper work children may go to school without having them . I would never suggest doing that though. If everyone did you could be assured we would be going backwards.

Yes,, immigrants should all be forced to have vaccinations. In my country we've eradicated diseases by vaccinating everyone and now we don't have to vaccinate future generations, but with immigration, a lot of the diseases we've rid our country of are making a come back because people are coming from countries who never got rid of the diseases to begin with. Now our population is being exposed to strains that previous vaccinations don't protect from and those who were never vaccinated are unprotected as well.
HPV is an STD. Try not being a floozy and you won't get it.

yes they should. there are controversies over certain ones the most recent being the idea that all girls should get the hpv vaccine to help prevent cervical cancer. If youve ever heard of the term of "herd immunity" then only a certain percentage of populations have to be immune to virus' and it greatly helps the whole.
For autisms comment i highly doubt they put poison in vaccines and theres nothing wrong with natural immunity except the scars and potentially permanent neurologcal and physical side efects many diseases can leave. Most vaccines are syntheticly replicated by the virus itself or are weakened/almost dead strains (called live atinnuated) that your body can easily fight off. The herd immunity that i noted earlier is why many people still dont get sick even if they dont have vaccines however if you get some like chickenpox or usual childrens diseases in adult hood they r usually much worse and have harsher effects

I don't know about where you live Wick but they are mandatory here. So are you saying that your son doesn't have to have any vaccinations if you don't want him to?
( Please understand T that I'm not assuming you do or don't.
I'm just curious of the rules/laws where you all are. K?) Now, yes I think some of them should be mandatory as they are lifesavers. Of course when my children were small it just wasn't up for discussion. At least I never heard anyone bring it up.

Oh Shoot I thought you said VACATIONS..... and I was going to say YES... without a doubt!
Sadly Wick I've know people where the child had reactions to the vaccinations and wound up brain damaged. But, not being a medical professional I can not give advise.. but... well, I just don't know! These decisions must be made by the parents!
Hug the little guy for me!

I would say yes for such things that children must be vaccinated for to go to school like Curious said, but NO, not for things like flu or that kind of thing. It should be up to the parent. The govt. has too much say over an individuals life here in the US. It is getting out of hand, we aren't even a democracy anymore.
