    The State Department of Health says the new requirements for school attendance don’t add any new vaccines for school entry, but they update the number of doses required and the minimum intervals between doses. The new requirements are aimed at helping reduce the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles and whooping cough.

    The recommendations were made by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a national group of medical and public health experts.

    The new requirements apply to daycare, head start, nursery, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten through 12th grade.

    It’s the first update in over a decade.

    A whole country has capitulated to Big Pharma. What a sick joke.Al Qaeida and the rest are wasting their energy on the USA. Just wait a little longer and the country will destroy itself.
    Interesting to note the picture of Mennonite kids outside the vaccination booth. Amish are a sub-group of the Mennonites. According to Dr Frank Noonan, who has treated Amish for over 25 years, Autism does not exist amongst that community (Age of Autism: Amish Bill Introduced) – they also do not vaccinate. Likewise Dr Mayer Eisenstein (Homefirst Medical Services, Chicago) ‘of 30,000-35,000 children that we’ve taken care of over the years, I don’t think that we’ve a single case of Autism in children delivered by us who never received vaccination’ – the national rate is 1:175.

    I had never ever yet commented on Vos Iz Neias or any other “News Blog”. But this is a matter of life and death and I must respond to you.
    1) Immunizations is a gift from Hashem to mankind and it saves lives.

    2) The risk and side effects are very minimal. They benefit far outweighs the risk.

    3) All doctors who are Frum and treat the Heimishe communities of Lakewood, Monsey, and Brooklyn agree that you must immunize your kids to prevent preventable deaths and/or lifelong illnesses.

    4) There is a cult (YES, A CULT) in the Frum community known as the “Anti Vaccine Community”. It is not here the place to debate it in full. Just keep in mind that they preach to the masses on fiction not on fact and no doctor in the Frum community agrees with them.

    5) It is important that everyone in the community gets immunized due to the fact that there is a small percentage of the population that immunization does not work for them and there is also a small percentage that can’t have the immunization due to certain illnesses. For them, there only hope is what’s known as “Herd Immunization”. This is also true for newborns up to 6 months of age. More next comment…
