Lafayette Students Sent Home Due to Vaccine Apathy

Over 200 students in Lafayette, Indiana, were sent home from school for not being up to date on their vaccinations, as local school corporations are now enforcing vaccine requirements more strictly. County Health Officer Dr. Greg Loomis attributes the issue to "vaccine apathy" rather than denial, as vaccination rates in the area are significantly lower than the statewide average. Concerns are raised about the potential loss of herd immunity. Administrators had sent letters and reminder emails to parents before excluding their children from school.
