UPPER MARLBORO, Maryland (CNN) -- A crowd of frustrated parents gathered on a chilly Saturday morning outside Prince George's County Circuit Court to comply with an order from the school system to have their children vaccinated -- or else.
A line forms outside Prince Georges County Circuit Court in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Saturday.
Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey, whose office began the effort, was at the courthouse to answer questions.
Judge C. Philip Nichols, who signed the letters threatening parents with jail or fines, said he felt the tactic worked.
"We got a thousand kids back in school just by sending one letter," he said.
Nichols ordered parents to come to court Saturday to either immunize the children on the spot, or to provide proof that they already had their shots, according to The Associated Press.
Families who failed to comply could face 10 to 30 days in jail.

I know there are lots of moms & dads on the boards so I was curious what your thoughts were on this?
When I was in school, we were not allowed to set foot on the premises without immunization records.
