On February 21, the school board unanimously voted to remove any students who had not complied with immunization standards. The board indicated an \u201cunusually high\u201d number this year of students without vaccination documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rochester school district says they spent the better part of February attempting to communicate with parents of the more than 200 outstanding students. In a statement, the district claimed to have taken \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.startribune.com\/rochester-removes-80-unvaccinated-students-from-classes\/415119364\/\"><span class=\"s2\">every reasonable measure<\/span><\/a>\u201d, including providing information about where families could receive vaccinations free of charge. The school emphasized it was their \u201csincere hope that all parents would comply with the law and avoid having their children miss any school\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Regardless, when the March 1st deadline came around, over a quarter had still failed to provide proof of vaccination or exemption. At this point, dozens of students were taken out of class and supervised in a \u201csafe and supervised location\u201d. They were instructed they could not return to class until they submitted the appropriate documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/schoolnurses.dearbornschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/853\/2013\/12\/School-Immunization-Requirements.pdf\">Michigan students<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> must present official medical documentation of having received immunizations for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, meningococcal and varicella (chickenpox).

The Center for Disease Control recommends 29 doses of 9 vaccines for children under 6, as well as a yearly flu shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many people believe the government should not interfere with personal medical choices, and vaccine mandates infringe upon constitutionally protected religious freedoms.
