The requirement is just that you can not enter school unless you're vaccinated, now, if you're such a believer in liberty that you do not wish to be vaccinated, then there should be a consequence, and that is that you can not infect other people.

There is a federal statute requiring that vaccine information statements should be given. That is a federal requirement, and in the name of liberty we should rely therefore upon states and localities to make a further requirement, but they typically do require an informed consent.
