Discussion

Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Senate Bill 277, which requires almost all California schoolchildren to be fully vaccinated in order to attend public or private school (including early childhood programs), regardless of their parents' personal or religious beliefs.

"The science is clear that vaccines dramatically protect children against a number of infectious and dangerous diseases:' Brown wrote in his signing message. "While it's true that no medical intervention is without risk, the evidence shows that immunization powerfully benefits and protects the community."

Based what you have read and heard, do you agree with California's law?

Reasons Parents Don't Vaccinate & Quiet Rise in Unvaccinated Children

Consider the following:

1. Are vaccinations a parental/personal decision or a social obligation?

2. Should parents be required to vaccinate their children or allowed to opt out (personal belief exceptions)?

3. Under what conditions, if any, should an exemption be allowed? Should exempted children be restricted from attending public school or visiting a pediatrician's office?

Consider how you can best capture Piaget's theory to remember key points. Perhaps thought bubbles, images, a chart, a graphic, a drawing, or a table.

Illustrations can be hand-drawn or computer generated.
