When the state requires that vaccines be received, that choice no longer exists.

Except in Texas and some other states. In 2003, Texas Legislature along with Governor Perry modified our process so that a parent could opt out of any (or all) vaccine and do it solely for personal choice. It was no longer required to be a religious or medical reason.

That is good news and merits a checkmark on the "plus" side for Perry.
