Vaccinations and Public Health

-Should Parents take a more active role in immunization schedule?-

I would recommend for parents to consult with their children's pediatrician or other health care provider..... to discuss and to build their knowledge base regarding the series of immunizations
..taking an active role takes many forms, each parent can delegate a task to each other to conduct their own research before they have their child vaccinated.

-Would you support making vaccination program -obligatory?

As a healthcare provider I am required by law to have all immunizations updated or my license to practice is not-reactivated. Other professionals that work in the same medical facility are also required to receive vaccinations but they have the option to wear a mask all year round or take the vaccination series. In the state of New York you are not employed in any medical facility without the vaccination series...

Do I support the law mandated approach? Some of the side effects activate other medical issues such as existing allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders...ect., so if a person with a delicate immune-constitution decides to work in a facility that is mandated by the state to receive yearly vaccinations, perhaps that is not the environment to work in..

If it becomes a federal law- that can become a political issue....
