“I don’t exactly follow Zoosermom’s logic for allowing opting out and privacy, re: sexual activity,”

The privacy in the school system, in the school building. NYC is notorious for extremely personal information becoming public and my concern is that a young person’s sexual history (possible abuse or such) might be compromised. The bottom line is that the schools simply do not need to know if a young woman has received this vaccination and do not need to mandate it for attendance. Education about possible benefits – yes. Mandatory for admission --absolutely not.
