Comments

Marsha Maines writes:

ANY law that REMOVES a Parent's RIGHT is a BAD LAW.
As a Parent, I object to ANY GOVERNMENT forcing me to inject a vaccine produced by the pharmaceutical death industry into My Child. Man made "medicines" kill, much more often than God's remedies, Cure.

Lee Oleary writes:

This is a questionable vaccine. It should not be required. Parents should be able to make these kinds of choices. We are fighting federal mandated health care right now, we don't need the state heaping on children and their parents. Leave people alone to think for themselves!

Angela Herring writes:

Any parent can opt out for any reason.
This is an anti-cancer (cervical) vaccine and needs to be given before sexual activity and exposure to the HPV virus begins.
This vaccine is expensive and because it is "required" is covered by insurance or provided through health departments. It has been well received in my community.

Lee Oleary writes:

I personally understand this very well.I am a mom with three daughters. Some people have been sold a misleading bill of goods about this vaccine. There is much more to this than what meets the eye.
