After the big measles outbreak at Disneyland in 2014, California tightened school vaccination requirements: Senate Bill 277, passed in 2015, removed personal belief exemptions for mandated vaccinations. Senate Bill 276, passed in 2019, further tightened up what counts as a valid medical exemption. Above details from this overview: https://www.capradio.org/articles/2021/07/24/no-california-does-not-have-a-personal-belief-exemption-for-covid-19-vaccines-for-kids/ https://www.capradio.org/articles/2021/07/24/no-california-d... I, for one, am glad to live in a state with strong and consistent vaccination requirements for school children.

> I, for one, am glad to live in a state with strong and consistent vaccination requirements for school children. Do you think kids should be mandated to be vaccinated for a disease they've already had? What if that vaccine does not appear to prevent illness or spread? What if the vaccine does not have full FDA approval?

  > Do you think kids should be mandated to be vaccinated for a disease they've already had? This is not a new approach. California already mandates that schoolchildren get vaccinated for chicken pox. It's not sufficient to have gotten the disease: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/health/story/2019-05-21/second-chicken-pox-shot-will-be-required-for-school-next-year https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/health/story/2019-... I'm not going to argue about this so will leave your other questions unanswered. Take care.

    Not looking to argue, just wondering if someone could support a vaccine mandate under these circumstances. I understand if you don't want to say, or don't have reasons to support your feelings. It's a fraught topic!

      OP quite clearly states that they “support a vaccine mandate under these circumstances” and has rightly decided to not engage in further bullshittery.
