That being said, the University of Alabama has just implemented a mandatory vaccination program. The university sent out an email to all of the students informing them they had to provide proof of several different immunizations before they could register. Failure to provide proof means either the student gets the shots on campus or refusal would prevent them from enrollment and could also lead to further judiciary punishment.
The mandated vaccines are the Manactra-antimeningitis, MMR vaccine, and TB screening within the last year. These are registration requirements. If you live off of campus, they remain requirements. The school further went on, " failure of any student, regardless of classification, not meeting the immunization and TB screening requirements may result in a disruption in ability to register and possible disciplinary action per the office of judicial affairs.
This, in spite of the following evidence - the MMR vaccine has been linked to autism and inflammatory bowel disease. With the meningitis vaccine, 5000 children suffered adverse reactions immediately after it was introduced in Britain.
The Crimson Tide, we hope, will not be adversely effected. I'm sure they will be mandated,too, or will they be exempt because they play in a major bowl game each year bringing untold revenue to the university.
The question is, should vaccines be mandated? If the answer is yes, can the public be assured there are no adverse reactions? At the present time the answer is definitely no, but the testing continues on our young. The next question you should be asking, because it is coming, is how can they be mandated?
The only way to mandate vaccination is by force, which is what many think will happen in the event of the swine flu "pandemic." State health authorities have already confirmed that if the government were to announce a mandatory vaccination program, there would be no exceptions and the use of force could be used.
A health care reform bill approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee called "The
Affordable Health Choices Act", will fund the creation of state "intervention" teams that will carry out home visits in order to check on both children and adults.
