A friend told my oldest son that he talked to the Dean and the Dean told him that all students by law had to take the shot. The friend a student brought him the exemption form and the Dean admitted to knowing about it and said they are asking us to tell the students the shots are mandatory. I don't know who the they are or if the Dean was covering his lie or telling the truth, but I have been all over the net and college's in Texas are saying it is mandatory. IT IS NOT.
