On the contrary, a child cannot be excluded from public or private education on the grounds that they have not been vaccinated.
Parents can opt out of vaccinations for their children.

Here's why those numbers are growing:
The fact that vaccines can cause injury and death officially was acknowledged in the United States in 1986 when Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, creating a no-fault federal compensation system for vaccine-injured children to protect the vaccine manufacturers and doctors from personal-injury lawsuits. Since then, the system has paid out more than $1 billion to 1,000 families, whose loved ones have died or been harmed by vaccines, even though three out of four applicants are turned away.
Since 1990, between 12,000 and 14,000 reports of hospitalizations, injuries and deaths following vaccination are made to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, annually, but it is estimated that only between 1 and 10 percent of all doctors make reports to VAERS. Therefore, the number of vaccine-related health problems occurring in the United States every year may be more than 1 million.
Because so little medical research has been conducted on vaccine side effects, no tests have been developed to identify and screen out vulnerable children. As a result, public-health officials have taken a “one-size-fits-all” approach and have aggressively implemented mandatory vaccination laws while dismissing children who are injured or die after vaccination as unfortunate but necessary sacrifices “for the greater good.” This utilitarian rationale is of little comfort to the growing number of mothers and fathers who watch their once-healthy, bright children get vaccinated and then suddenly descend into mental retardation, epilepsy, learning and behavior disorders, autism, diabetes, arthritis and asthma. Some adverse reactions are fatal.
Instead of epidemics of measles and polio, we have epidemics of chronic autoimmune and neurological disease: In the last 20 years rates of asthma and attention-deficit disorder have doubled, diabetes and learning disabilities have tripled, chronic arthritis now affects nearly one in five Americans and autism has increased by 300 percent or more in many states. The larger unanswered question is: To what extent has the administration of multiple doses of multiple vaccines in early childhood — when the body’s brain and immune system is developing at its most rapid rate — been a co-factor in epidemics of chronic disease? The assumption mass-vaccination policies have played no role is as unscientific and dangerous as the assumption that an individual child’s health problems following vaccination are only coincidentally related to the vaccination.

DW is nurse (+25 yrs) and can't take flu shots as she is deadly allergic to (preservative?) something in them. I get them every year. Shot is only 60% effective even if they picked the correct strain(s) to put in it. Been to many parties over the years and can report many topics that health care professionals are just as stupid about as the public. Flu shots are just one area. Healthcare should be based on facts but with all the Voodoo thinking and disregard for the facts we get what we pay for...over priced healthcare and ignorant hospital staff which cause illness and even death. Google non-issues like washing your hands and staff continue to not (and specially doctors) follow guidelines and patients continue to get ill and some die. Not surprized that public is ill-informed and ignorant on flu shots. God help us all if we continue to "ready - fire - aim" on the facts. Just because it on cablenews, the internet or in a book does not mean its true. I'm french model "au revoir"
