Oh, I think it should be available and low-cost, absolutely, and I strongly support *most* vaccination programs, I just think that the all-or-nothing mentality is dangerous. I just dislike the school-mandated vaccination laws, especially since some states have all-or-nothing waivers (though they can be circumvented--a friend of mine claims she's gonna suddenly find religion before she lets the kids get hep or chicken pox vaccines, but the other vax she has no qualms with).
I'm a bit disgusted that vaccines are only available low-cost when they're state mandated for school entry.
That's the one thing I always tell people *to* get vaccinated for. It survives and unwholesomely long time outside the body, so there's only so much that you can do to limit your risk of getting it.
