    I think it's getting scary that the goverment can dictate that all children must get the flu shot and pneumonia shots. Children today are being subjected to so many vacinations and at the same time. I don't think it's wise to introduce multiple immunizations at once. Our bodies are not set up to handle dealing with multiple viruses at the same time.

    I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA THAT NJ IS MAKING IT MANDATORY FOR PRESCHOOLERS ETC. TO GET FLU AND PNEUMONIA SHOTS.I THINK IT SHOULD BE LIKE THAT IN ALL STATES.MY DAUGHTER HAS ASTHMA.SHE GETS THE FLU SHOT EVERY YEAR AND THE PNEUMONIA SHOT EVERY 5 YEARS.I THINK IF ALL KIDS WOULD GET THE FLU AND PNEUMONIA SHOTS IT WOULD HELP KIDS WITH ASTHMA(LIKE MY DAUGHTER)FROM GETTING SO SICK FROM OTHER KIDS.
