First (.5 PT), state your position on vaccinations. Should children and adolescents be REQUIRED to receive vaccinations? Why or why not?

I thinks the state should require mandatory vaccination for the community and if they don’t get vaccinated then they should pay a fine but not go to jail. I also think the vaccination policy should permit religious exemptions but not medical or philosophical exemptions.
