Subject: RE: BS: Reinforcing respectful 'boundaries'
I never went to 'kindergarten' GfS. I went to Nursery School and Primary School. Is it too much to ask that you consider whether or not people are in the same state, country, continent or era?

Polio vaccine in England in the 1950s was not compulsory but, as the risk of the disease was greater than the risk of the vaccine, I do believe there was a high take up of immunisation.

I did not know about elsewhere but a simple click gave me this from Wikipedia

In the United States, certain immunizations are mandated by state policies for school entry requirements. In a push to eradicate Pertussis, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella, and Hepatitis B from the population, schools across the United States require an updated immunization record for all incoming and returning students. This is a social problem because there are ethical debates and objections to the required immunizations because of different religious or philosophical beliefs and the infringement on individual liberties

There is information on the same for most countries. Again, is it to much to ask that a brief investigation of facts be undertaken?

Finally, you have still not answered whether these 'compulsory' immunisations were given only to certain groups on the grounds of their sexual orientation etc.

Not even an E for effort...
