The very young, old, and pregnant women are immune compromised to some extent. Many people taking disease modifying medications for cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, many serious gastrointestinal problems, multiple sclerosis, lupus, etc. - take life extending drugs that can decrease our immunocompetence. All these people rely on public health. Vaccination has saved countless lives and it is why childhood mortality has declined substantially in recent decades. Why put more of us at risk of dying young? I oppose this bill. For the common good, stay healthy. Vaccinate.
