In the State of New Jersey, the Flu vac has been mandated for all school aged children. This is wrong and unfair! In my opinion, parents rights are being stripped away to support the Pharmaceutical industry. Is there anything one can do to fight the mandate, short of pulling their children out of Public Schools for homeschooling???
Hi, Melanie. If you are asking what are your options as a parent for your child to avoid the flu shot, the state of NJ provides for two different types of exemptions. Religious or medical. If you are asking what NJ parents can do to fight mandates and gain choice, please go to http://www.njvaccinationchoice.org.
I am giving parent vaccine choices seminars in NJ during the next month which are sponsored by the Coalition.
9/4/08 Thu 6-9pm Gillette, NJ at the Long Hill Township Public Library, 917 Valley Road, Gillette
9/10/08 Wed 630-930pm East Windsor, NJ at the Mercer County Library, 138 Hickory Corner Road, East Windsor

Dear Melanie,
You are correct. The flu vaccine is one of four newly mandated vaccines for children in the state of New Jersey. It is wrong, and it is unfair, I agree. The mandates were passed without sufficient public discussion, and without appropriate involvement and advice from medical authorities. New Jersey now has the highest number of mandated vaccines in the nation in order for children to enter school. New Jersey is also home to many of the vaccine manufacturers.
A group has been started called the New Jersey Coaltion for Vaccination Choice, http://www.njvaccinationchoice.org. I recommend you visit the sight and begin a dialogue with the parents/activists who are fighting for their rights, and for the health of their children. While New Jersey residents wait to see if the bill for philosophical exemption re: vaccinations is passed, there are other options you have, one of which does in fact include homeschooling. That’s the state of affairs we are now faced with in New Jersey, and in other states in the country.
There is no need for a flu vaccine, let alone a mandate for the flu vaccine amongst all children. It definitely appears as if the fight is getting tougher before we might experience a breaking point. Good luck. We need parents like you to stand up and have your voice heard.
