I think it should be optional because if we truly are free we shoudnt be forced into something.

No one has ever said we are "TRULY" free, we live under the actions of other people, our freedom has limits when it comes to making decisions, our society literally forces us to do multiple things in a single day but we are so used to it that we do not even notice it. Of course no one chooses to be born in a life in which you must obey the system's rules but here we are and, the outcomes of not listening to what to do are often bad, specially when you listen to yourself instead of listen to science or logic.

I think its a good idea because it would reduce the amount of people who get infected, and if parents don't want to vaccinate their kids could just do online school

i agree with you because it would decrease the amount of covid cases and if people decide not to get vaccinated they could just do online school

i don't want to feel forced into getting something i don't want. I just want to come to school to get my education. But i guess if i have to then i most likely will. But its not fair that we have to get it in order to come to school.

The vaccine is free and as far as we know, safe. Why to complain when what these people want is to secure us from getting a virus that has killed tons of people. Humanity wants to keep on existing and evolving and in order for that to happen we should secure our health.

Well,I don't really like how they are mandating the vaccine but I do think that everybody should get the vaccine.

I think this is a good mandate to have. This will help slow the spread of covid and keep people safe. If you don't want to then you can just do online class. I don't know why people are making a big deal. I see nothing wrong with getting vaccines being mandatory.

I don't like how we are being forced to take the vaccine when we don't really have to like me I never got the vaccine and didn't covid-19 not once.
Rubi (P.1)

I think it is a good idea especially since in schools there are still students who go into school who have Covid and the school doesn't even know. It puts the school and students at risk for getting Covid. I can understand why the parents are a little worried over getting there little kid vaccinated, not everyone's body can handle the vaccine after effects. But I think it is a good idea to put the mandate over schools in California.
Rubi

But it should be an option not something you should be forced to do*

In my opinion I think it's a good thing for all of us so we could be save from corona even though for other people they don't think the same thing for some reason.

My opinion on the mandate vaccine is that they should have a choice to put it on or not. If they decide not to, they can do distance learning.
Maria Ledezma
10/4/2021 09:40:51 am
I think that the state mandate is a smart approach to control the covid crisis but at the same time the vaccine should be an option. I understand why most people wouldn't want to get the vaccine but now they mandating the children not the parents. Parents should be in control of what their children should and should not do.

i feel like its not right because some kids dont want to get it.
Kamiya

I feel that it should be optional for a kid to get the vaccine to go to school. If a student and/or parent doesn't want to get the vaccine they should be able to be home schooled. We shouldn't be forced to do something that we are unsure about.
Salvador Samano P.1

I think it should be optional and not forced on kids , if they chose to get it then they should get it if they dont want to then they dont have to .
Jazanae B

I think that it should be an opinion to choose because many don't believe it and don't feel comfortable
osiris

i think it should be optional because getting vaccinated s up to both parent and child. Parents may not like the idea of there kids vaccinated. I think it would be best to think about what to do with kids who dont get vaccinated like online school.
Jazmin(Per2)

It should be an option because there are many people that have different opinions about getting vaccinated.

I think having the vaccines mandated in the schools is good. Because this can prevents and prevent people to get covid. But it will cause parents to riot or be mad because they may not trust the vaccine.

I feel like it is a good idea because it will prevent a lot of cases of COVID, which will keep a lot of people safe. If people do not want to get the vaccine there is other options like distance learning.
Valeria Montes (period 2)
10/4/2021 11:11:14 am
In my opinion, the Covid vaccine mandate is just like all the other vaccines that the school requires us to have to attend public school. Regardless I don't think it's right that the government is mandating it because it's a new vaccine so it's hard to trust it in the first place.
robert

i think people should just take the vaccine can stop using mask
Mariela Corodva
10/4/2021 11:12:04 am
In my opnion its unfair for us human we should have the option to choose to get the vaccine or not because not all of us feel safe getting the vaccine.so it should really be an option for us .
Dalia D P.2
10/4/2021 11:12:33 am
I think that the mandate is good because this well help slow slow down the spread of covid. It would also help keep kids and others be safer from getting the virus . But there are some people who don't believe in the vaccine and my just not let their kids get it so at the same time it should also be optional just for that cause .
Genesis Rodas (Period: 2)

I think the California mandate for students to get vaccinated is complicated. The reason is because it is important to keep everyone safe by getting the vaccine. On the other hand, people should have the right to decide what they put in their body. I think it should be respected that some people do not feel comfortable getting the vaccine. But I do see the importance of getting it because it will keep the people safe. I just think many people should decide whether or not they should get the vaccine and not be forced to do get the vaccine.
Pedro H (Period-2)

I think Mandating the vaccine is a good thing since it can make students feel safer in school.

I think the vaccine being mandatory for students who are on campus is good because it helps prevent harm from the virus and it can help stop or slow down the spread.
Andres Pardo (Period 2)
10/4/2021 11:15:09 am
The vaccine mandate for all students in California is a good thing. While being vaccinated doesn't mean that you'll be completely safe from COVID-19, it reduces the risk. If we stay safe and vaccinated, it will greatly reduce our chances of getting infected. There are some people that may be opposed to this new rule, so schools have to be ready to offer online classes as an alternative.
Martyedith (Per. 2)
10/4/2021 11:16:09 am
In my opinion, this vaccine mandate for students is a good idea. We need to secure the population from corona-virus and students are key. I don't see the point of being scared from death, if millions of people have died already because of the virus; plus, many people have got the shot and they're still alive.
Gaby.B (per 2)
10/4/2021 11:16:42 am
I personally feel like it should not be forced upon but I do see why they made it mandatory because this virus is very dangerous. It has caused millions of death of families. They want to help protect people lives by forcing this vaccine upon
alicia (P2)

I think the vaccine should not be forced upon people. I personally am vaccinated but i understand that others wouldn't feel as comfortable with getting the vaccine.
Leonel Roman (Per2)
10/4/2021 11:17:12 am
I don't think its fair for the vaccine to be mandatory in order to be in school. As long as the students keep testing negative for Covid-19 they should be allowed on campus with the vaccine.
Diane ruiz

I think its in a way good for us because we are keeping our older people safe and this can help decrease the numbers so we can maybe go back to normal someday
Lizbeth Roman P.2

In my opinion, I believe that this is unfair for those who are strictly against the vaccine. I know there is people who feel like their rights as a free human being are being violated. I'm vaccinated myself so I don't really mind but it is important to stay safe.
Monica Arenas p3
10/4/2021 02:09:47 pm
I don't think getting the vaccine should for forced on someone and more of a option to take.
Anai Fernandez (Period 3)
10/4/2021 02:10:00 pm
I believe that the mandate for students in California is a good thing because there will be a decrease in Covid-19 cases and will protect people. But if people don't want the vaccine there are still other options.
David P3
10/4/2021 02:10:58 pm
I think that people should have to take the vaccine, but they do have the option to take online school.

my opinion on the vaccine is whatever i don't mind it and i also already have both shots so i am fine.But i don't think they should force people to take it if they don't want it
Yesenia E. P.3
10/4/2021 02:13:58 pm
I believe that the mandate for the vaccine is unfair for those against it due to any religious or strict belief against the vaccine. But it is for our benefit so its fine. Even tough there is a choice of independent study I believe that students wont learn as much as if they were able to attend school in person. So there is pros and cons. The vaccine hasn't been around for many years so it isn't very secure and it can have many negative effects. But the opinion is bias.

I personally agree with the vaccine mandate. Too many people have died without the vaccine but people may pass with the vaccine too. People though dont know how the vaccine will affect younger kids. Im vaccinated so i dont really care.

The bad thing about this news is that now is MANDATORY which makes us with no right to talk or do really nothing about it. Which lead us to make decisions most people don't want to because of fear or religious. This gonna cause a big ciaos with district and community. On the other side, this mandatory statement can probably protect us even more and also have more control in this virus, but not all people see it like this. Each of us are o aren't vaccinated because our own choice.
jesse h period 3

i think that people should be allowed to do what they want but follow the rules on being careful and wearing theyre mask because they need to think about the other people around them be considerate on others lives.
Pascual Juan
10/4/2021 02:18:03 pm
In my opinion, I think we should be able to decide if we should get it or not. There might be people who don't want to get it and others who had gotten it already.

In my opinion I disagree with the mandate for our state that everyone has to be vaccinated because everyone has the right to decide for themselves. And if some people don't want to get vaccinated the state has to respect their decisions.

My opinion is the following: just like any other vaccine that helps your immune system getting stronger, it must be taken by us. COVID-19 vaccine is not different from the Flu vaccine and everybody has gotten the flu vaccine at least once. It is true that, since it is a mandatory, you have no choice but to get it and there are many people who refuse to get it because of misinformation about science and because of religions( the governement is on it already) but those people would be taking other medicines whenever they feel sick as if the "government" could not put the "sign of the beast" in any medicine or even in our food so we get it without noticing (im saying this just because people make stupid assumptions and conspiracies against the vaccine). In conclusion, I agree with the mandatory, if people are against it, well, lets see what the government does about it.
Grace.C(Per2)
10/4/2021 09:04:30 pm
In my opinion I disagree with this mandate. I think people should do what they please. I also think a lot of people don't want this mandate because there is no assurance of this vaccine.
Carlos Guerra
10/4/2021 09:31:06 pm
if we wanna enjoy the "freedom" that this country has given us, we should respect the laws. If the vaccine wasnt safe, then we, the people who have gotten the vaccine, would be dead or at least suffering from any common secondary effects.

I think the vaccine should be a choice made by the parents or the person themselves. It shouldn't make us choose how we take our education.
Omar C.
10/5/2021 09:44:38 am
I believe that vaccine should not be mandatory because it takes away the choice of parents and is forcing people to have to do something they may or maybe not want to do.

my opinion for the mandate on our state is that i really dont care. i was just riding the ride on what would happen with the vaccine, althought i was and still is unsure of it.
Paola Mora (Per.4)
10/5/2021 09:45:37 am
I think the vaccine should be optional, it's a great idea to prevent others from getting it but not everyone wants to get vaccinated. It should honestly be up to the student and their parent/guardian.
Patty R.
10/5/2021 09:45:50 am
In my opinion i disagree because honestly just because they saying its safe doesn't actually mean its safe they can be lying about it but they shouldn't make our schools to get it because not everyone wants to get the vaccine and i don't wanna be forced to get it
Gabriela T (Period 4)
10/5/2021 09:45:56 am
I think people should get the vaccine, I personally am vaccinated. yeah its unfair and people have the right to get it or not but its to keep the older people and the students safe.
Justin Nava (per 4)

In my opinion i think its safer for students and teachers, but i think it should be optional not mandatory.
Nancy V. (period 4)
10/5/2021 09:46:33 am
In my opinion I feel like we should have a say if we want to get vaccinated or not but I also feel like we all should get vaccinated since Covid isn't a joke. The vaccine as of now is safe since many family members that I know of are still good and alive.
Andy C. Per. 4
10/5/2021 09:46:38 am
in my humble and honest opinion, i really couldn't care less about the mandate i understand why people would disagree but at the same time it's like the flu shot, without it you can't enter school so what's the difference now? i think its a good idea as it would lower the rate of the virus spread and could possibly restore a sense of normality which i believe alot of people miss. (excluding me as all i do is a bit of trolling)

Destiny M. (Period 4)
10/5/2021 09:57:24 am
In my opinion I disagree with the mandate of the state for trying to get the COVID vaccine to be mandatory, many people have their own religious beliefs and opinions on the vaccine and the state should be able to understand that some people don't want a vaccine/drug in their body system. I'm personally not against the vaccine but it's only right for me to consider others perspectives.
Josue R per 4

Kimberly Esparza P:5
10/5/2021 11:11:51 am
my opinion on the mandate for our state is that it really isn't safe since not every vaccine is safe and they shouldn't make every student get it if they don't want too it should be something you could make a decision of.
Kimberly Diaz (Period 5)
10/5/2021 11:13:45 am
I feel like it should be someone's choice to want to put the vaccine. I mean it really doesn't stop us from having covid. It might delay it but it doesn't prevent it. Might as well just keep the mask mandates and the vaccines to a "your choice". They should stop lying about the vaccine though.
Vanessa C. (Per:5)
10/5/2021 11:19:24 am
In my opinion, the vaccine shouldn't be mandate on our state because it's our choice to get the vaccine.
roxanna lopez (p5)
10/5/2021 11:23:33 am
In my opinion it should be a choice to get vaccinated. We are in a free country and if we dont get vaccinated we wont be allowed to come it school. Thats taking away our right to a free public education.
Michael (Period 5)
10/5/2021 11:24:49 am
I feel like it should be the student or parents choice to get the vaccine instead of forcing the vaccine on someone.

I believe its just like those other vaccines that elementary,middle or high school require to enter but since the vaccine is new,the majority may be feel unsure about putting it in their kids.But i personally think it a lot more pros than cons on getting the vaccine.
Luis Rodas p5
10/5/2021 11:30:40 am
I feel this mandate is a good thing because it doesnt restrict those who didnt get the vaccine from learning because they have the option of virtual learning and will keep everyone that does go to school in person safe
Juana H Period 5
10/5/2021 11:31:24 am
My opinion for the vaccine mandate is neutral. I think that if people would like to get vaccinated, they should and if they don't then just take lots of precaution to not catch and spread the virus.
Edgar Mendoza P:5
10/5/2021 11:32:33 am
My opinion about the vaccine its shouldn't be mandatory because everyone has different ways of thinking and some people don't want to get it because they are scared and they think something bad is going to happen to them but the truth is that nothing bad really happens i got vaccinated and nothing happened to me but like i said everyone thinks differently.
Robert N

I feel like its being pushed onto us but. Im still not going to get it.
Tyana per 5
10/5/2021 11:34:16 am
