Question #1: Do you think the government should mandate childhood vaccinations? Do you think parents have the right to refuse it? Why?

For the second part of the discussion, you will apply what you have learned from the course materials in this module. By Thursday, create and post separately, two well-crafted questions for your classmates to answer. Each question must include at least 3 – 5 sentences of background information before the questions are asked. You must start each question post with “CLASSMATE QUESTION.” Please be sure to research your questions and add references in APA style format.

For the last part of the discussion, you will thoroughly respond to two of your classmate’s questions. Each classmate response must be at least 3 – 5 sentences. When responding to your classmate’s questions you must start with “CLASSMATE RESPONSE.” This will assure that you are given proper credit for all posts. Please be sure to research your answers and add references in APA style format.
