CHICAGO (WBBM) -- A Chicago Alderman is suggesting that parents be forced to get flu vaccines for their children.
City Health officials admit not every parent is getting the flu vaccine for H1N1 and the seasonal flu for their kids. Some are afraid to, but doctors say it would be harder for the flu to spread of everone were immunized.
Alderman George Cardenas questions why the City couldn’t make the immunizations mandatory for Public school children. He says he thinks it is truly necessary, and government could help those parents who can't afford it.
