There has been a lot of discussion latelyrelated to the parents' choice to not vaccinate theirchildren. This, in turn, has created quite afrenzy among public healthadministrators. I am going to provide you with some links, but you areencouragedto provide your own research. I would like to have a civil discussion, so no judgment. You are all entitled to express your opinions supported by research. Once you read the information I posted (see links below)and after you conductyour own research, answer the following questions:

1. Can and should public health agencies do more to raise awareness and ensure that children are being vaccinated, and as such protect the public? If yes,what more can they do? If no, why not?

2. There has beena spike in legislative bills to allow parents to have a choice? Why do you think this is the case? What are the dangers in introducing these bills?

3. What is your take on it all?
