CO HB19-1312 School Immunization Requirements

[Gman]

When I was a kid, you had to get your vaccines if you went to public school. Then again, polio wasn't that far in the rearview mirror and our parents remembered. There were survivors that were regular reminders. Smallpox also left its mark around the same time. Vaccines were seen as life savers, not perceived risks without a scientific basis.

You want to send your kid to public school, they should be vaccinated. You want to home school or find a private school willing to assume the risk of an outbreak among unvaccinated kids, that's your choice.
