Senator Kaine says keeping coronavirus student vaccines on par with other diseases

Virginia Senator Tim Kaine says in floor debate on a three week appropriations bill that every Senator who attended school in the United States had to get vaccines against measles, mumps, rubella, polio and chickenpox, and everyone in the Senate who had sent a child to school in the United States had to make sure that they got their children vaccinated not because of a big federal mandate but because 51 states had embraced their own vaccine mandates with some variations such as that Iowa did mandate a mumps vaccine, Virginia mandated a human papilloma papilloma virus vaccine and Virginia parents very strongly supported vaccination of children, so why not listen to parents?
