...what type of response do you foresee from anti-vaxxer parents when there finally is a coronavirus vaccine ready for use?

I don't kno that the states will move to mandate it for entry into school, not right away anyhow. That's usually a lengthy political process. But then again my state is passing relevant laws to this whole ordeal in record time - days instead of months / years. I'm interested to see which of my anti vax parents change their tune and get this one, while still claiming vaccines are against their religion

I am not sure we can mandate a SARS-COV2 vaccine. Much like the flu shots... oft times entire classes and even grades are out because a handful of bebes got the flu. This is not on the top of my worry pile.

We were finally making inroads on cutting down on the number of exclusions allowed for vaccines. I'm hoping the gravity of the situation is hitting home better than it had for the traditional vaccines.

I do hope it opens their minds to vaccinating their children especially for COVID 19 when it becomes available but I am sure it will not be mandatory for school entry.
