A ruling from The Oregon Court of Appeals said that the parents did not have the right to exempt their children from forced vaccinations after child welfare workers and the Oregon Department of Human Services fought to obtain a court order demanding the children receive multiple vaccinations last year. The court also decided that since the state had custody of the children, it had the right to make all their medical decisions without the parents' consent. Although the children are living with relatives, they are considered wards of the state. The parents, who say vaccinations are against their religious beliefs, had their children removed for undisclosed reasons last year after the state claimed concerns over their welfare. Despite the ruling, it appears the children have yet to be vaccinated while the parents have the option of appealing the ruling to Oregon's Supreme Court.

And if a parent decides they want to conduct female genital mutilation as part of their religious beliefs on their young daughter should the state allow that also?
After all, don't the parents know better what is for their children or not?

My sister is a nurse and was required to get a flu shot or lose her job.
She didn't want to but did anyways and is just fine.
I'm sorry she was put into that position.
I don't think it is right to force someone to be injected with anything, ever.
I can understand the reasoning behind it from a nursing standpoint, because, it is essentially to protect the patients that may be immunocompromised, but, I don't agree that the employee's rights should be violated by forcing them to chose between their job or an inoculation.
Vaccination should not be mandated.

These parents do not have custody of the children. They are DNA donors, nothing more. They have no more right to deny these children medical care than I do.

So....parents, according to you, have no say over their own children? Yet some government does? Your comment is bad enough, but how did it manage two stars???

Maybe you are underestimating the power of Time to cause a person's outlook and understanding to change.
You may also be under the impression that the OP was privy to eight years worth of firsthand experience, by the end of his first day on the job. But that isn't exactly logical. Either way, ‘tis probably better not to judge sans facts.

I say anyone who is giving out free shots, and they are able to make money off of you getting sick, is at least worth stepping back, and looking at...
"We were told that there was a great smallpox epidemic coming to the land and all the children must be vaccinated. My grandfather used to say that the white man’s vaccination makes you blind and if you are to look after the cattle you must not go to the trading store to get your vaccination. Inspectors used to come and check each child for signs of vaccination. Our grandmother used to give us great pain in order to save our spiritual eyes. Grains of maize would be heated up and pushed against the skin of the child, and so when the schools inspectors came he saw the blisters and assumed the child had been vaccinated…and I noticed that school children in mission schools who had been vaccinated for smallpox or measles could not see spiritual entities at all. A flying saucer would fly through the sky at great speed and be seen by many men & women but the children who had been vaccinated would see nothing and I noticed this hundreds of times."—Credo Mutwa
