4) In the article "Flu Vaccine for Preschoolers" the author tells you about the current problems with parents and the state government. New Jersey recently became the only state to require preschoolers to have the influenza vaccination before entering a preschool or licensed child care center. Parents held a protest at the government building. The author then tells us why it would be a bad idea to let parents excuse their children from having the flu shot. They say that children get sick easier than adults do, and also that about 100 kids under the age of 5 die from the flu or its complications. The only way around this is if you have a religious reason or if you have a medical reason.

7) My argument is just about the same as the author's. I agree that the children should be made to have their influenza vaccinations before having to go to a public school or child care facility. This is what would be safest for that child and the children around them. I do see some room as to where children with allergies and religious beliefs that prevent them from being able to take the shot would still be able to go to the school. Other than those two reasons I see no need for anyone else not to have their shots before entering preschool.
