Students in Virginia are not yet required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, but a new law that went into effect on July 1 will require students to receive four additional vaccines.
According to the Virginia Department of Education, students in daycare facilities through 12th grade must now be inoculated against rotavirus, hepatitis A, meningitis and human papillomavirus (HPV) for the upcoming school year, regardless of whether the student attends a public or private institution.
Historically reserved for females, all students regardless of biological sex will now be required to receive two doses of the HPV vaccine, the first of which must be administered before entering seventh grade. However, a previous Virginia statute specific to the HPV vaccine still applies and allows for parents or guardians to opt-out of vaccinating their child –after professional consultation –as HPV is not transmissible in a school setting.

These are scary times to be raising kids. They want to control us so bad.
Liberals love being told what to do by unqualified dirty politicians. Good job
We oldies had no choice growing up. Get vaccinated or you didn’t go to school. There was no asking for an exception either. Hell, there wasn’t any peanut allergies either.
Now every exception must be granted, whimper must be addressed, teachers must be nice…etc..etc.
Not a DEM or REP issue either.
The Gym teachers are going to love shower time when they have to mark down if each student took one. The mixed up Trans students in the wrong locker room will make it very interesting. I bet the girls will be horrified to see a real genetic boy sharing his soap with them, and the boys will love having a biological girl in their shower to tease and help her wash her back!
Gotta love those Liberal “Woke” politicians.
Big Pharma at the helm of your childs health or lack thereof.
HPV effects very few, and we poison millions.
Maybe instead of poisoning our children we should come up with a test that reveals whether you are susceptible to it?
Or is there no money in that for big pharma?
Comcast is forcing its employees to get the vaccination or be forced to stay home… terrible Nazi company
Just found out that if you are in an accident and transported to PRMC you get a Covid shot, they are giving you one anyway, without your knowledge. If you already had one this is just like a booster.
