In January 2014, 102 measles cases linked to an outbreak at Disneyland were reported in 14 states. The outbreak alarmed the CDC, which declared the disease eliminated in the U.S. in the year 2000. Many health officials have tied the outbreak to the rising number of unvaccinated children under the age of 12. Proponents of a mandate argue that vaccines are necessary in order to insure herd immunity against preventable diseases. Herd immunity protects people who are unable to get vaccines due to their age or health condition. Opponents of a mandate believe the government should not be able to decide which vaccines their children should receive. Some opponents also believe there is a link between vaccinations and autism and vaccinating their children will have destructive consequences on their early childhood development.

Yes, but only for deadly and dangerous diseases, with exceptions for religious beliefs and medical necessity (such as premature babies who cannot yet be vaccinated, those with illnesses that getting a vaccine could do more harm than good, etc.). Regardless of the severity of the disease the vaccine is for, every citizen, especially every parent, must be given true, accurate, complete information about the risks and benefits for every vaccine.
@96WM38Q1yr1Y
Only for certain vaccines
@9646HJD2yrs2Y
Yes and this should be done at school and paid for 100% by the Government, but all children has to be tested to see if they are allergic to the vaccine, the kids that are should not have to take it.
