- What special advantage does the capsule confer on the pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae?

Each year we see flu shots advertised just about everywhere. Many are required to get them due to their professions. The elderly and children are also advised to get them as they are the greatest at risk. There is a growing concern and movement that has led to the proposal of a bill in Rhode Island that says a child can't attend daycare or pre-kindergarten unless they have received a flu shot. Some believe this could be considered an intrusion into personal liberties. Discuss your thoughts about this issue and if you think this does violate personal liberties. Please be sure to support your stance.
