In other words, California has a “mandatory requirement” that children be vaccinated to attend school, except that in practical terms it really doesn’t. Other states have similar laws. It seems that the politicians who write these laws are trying to satisfy everybody, with the result that the laws just don't work for the majority of people who favor vaccinations.
Parents of unvaccinated children often say, “What does it matter to you if my child isn’t vaccinated?” Well, there are always some children who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, even if they wanted to be vaccinated. An example is childhood leukemia; the chemotherapy for leukemia leaves a child vulnerable to infection but unable to be vaccinated effectively. Children with leukemia are put at risk when other children who could be vaccinated choose not to be vaccinated. And of course all children under the age of 1, who are too young to be vaccinated yet, are put at risk too.
What will it take to open people’s eyes to the fact that vaccinations are a good thing? I hope it doesn’t take the return of a truly debilitating disease such as polio. But it may.
