Beginning Jan. 4, children won't be allowed at school until they get the required vaccinations, Arensman said.
She estimated that roughly 90 percent of students have met the requirements. In past years, she estimated, that compliance was higher — above 95 percent.

H1N1 vaccination stations set up at a school are a far cry from mandatory vaccination. Maybe I have missed something. As a medical professional, I have seen first hand the devastating effects that this strain of the flu can have. Several have died in the county where I live. That said, H1N1 could have been much worse. The effects are generally similar to that of a bad cold.
One of the reasons for mass vaccinations is lessening the possibility that a person with a weak immune system will be exposed to the virus. You may not get sick, but you can carry a deadly virus to someone and without knowing it they may become infected and die.
