A new law what would add the COVID vaccine to a list of required vaccinations for kids in California schools is causing a debate among parents.
Thousands of people spent their Sunday protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates across the country from our Nation's capitol to here in the Bay Area.
"It's not only about kids whose parents don't want them to get vaccinated. It's about parents who don't have the time," Wiener explained."And relieving the parents of that stress of, 'how do I make the time when I'm working multiple jobs and raising multiple kids?'" He added,"Whether it's teenagers being able to go and get their own vaccines, or truly requiring all school children to be vaccinated for COVID - unless they have a medical reason not to - that just makes all the sense in the world.""We all know that with omicron going on, that it's evading vaccines," a parent from Southern California said."And Pan taking that choice away from parents, a lot of us can't afford to quit and homeschool.
In the Bay Area, Palo Alto Unified School District parent, Linda Henigin said,"I think back to 100 years ago, 200 years ago, when we didn't have lifesaving vaccines and children died of what are now entirely preventable diseases. And so, I'm all for eradicating these things from circulation by vaccinating everyone."
