BERLIN — Maryland will be joining 15 other states in mandatory seventh grade meningitis vaccinations starting next year.
The state already requires vaccinations for all college students in Maryland, but middle schoolers are especially susceptible to the meningococcal disease, according to Dr. Neal Halsey, infectious disease pediatrician, John Hopkins professor and director of the Institute for Vaccine Safety.
“Adolescence is a time of increased risk. It has been well documented in the United States as well as other countries,” he said. “So it is important to protect adolescents.”

Whoa. Mandatory? Better not happen.
NO, it won't. Period.
Government forcing yet another "vaccination"?
I wonder what's really in it.
If a vaccine is needed,where's the public service announcement that there's an epidemic?Another secret held by our tax paid officials.
The vaccine laws are nothing more than forced marketing in which the pharmaceuticals are obliviously behind. Think of the money involved$$$
Time for your Chip implant.
