Cosign that.
What is it with parents thinking that kids wouldn't figure this whole sex thing out themselves? Tab A goes into Slot B. It's not that complex and we've been doing it since before civilization. I'm pretty sure sex ed. isn't responsible for the re-discovery of sex in each generation.

ere is my take on this which I have thus left out because I am in the minority. I am not getting the vaccine. I am within the age bracket to get it but I have decided not to.
When I was 10 years old, I got my routine MMR vaccine. A day later I came down with an illness-we're not sure if it was rubella or not; either way it was a very bad reaction to the shot. I was off school for almost two weeks. I have never had a measles shot ever since. I have not had a meningitis shot. I have had Hep B. Since my bad reaction and because we have no idea what caused the reaction (which 1 in 100,000 people get) I am duly wary of new vaccines. I cannot afford another reaction to a vaccination when I don't know what caused the first reaction. While the vaccination is still voluntary, I'm not getting it.
This just goes to show that no matter how safe something is, someone somewhere will react badly. But this is no reason not to get the shot. If you've never reacted badly to a vaccine, I think you should get the shot. The good outweighs the bad for most people with this vaccination.

I don't think you're in the minority with regards to your opinion. I'd never think about requiring this for someone with an unknown reaction to vaccines. I think it's a good thing to "require" it but leave a way out that requires a bit more effort.
