  • The basilic vein, which is found on the pinkie side of the arm and is adjacent to the brachial arteries and median nerve, must only be utilized if there are no other more noticeable arm veins, due to its close closeness to both.
  • Only in extreme cases can veins in the ankle and foot be used. Avoid touching the veins on the inside of the wrist. A few additional websites ought to be avoided as well.

With the decision by schools to mandate vaccine does this prevent a parent from living freely? Explain your answer
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The debates over vaccinations are often cast as arguments over the integrity of science. But they can just as easily be understood as conversations about power, writes Eula Biss, a senior lecturer at Northwestern University, in her book, On Immunity: An Inoculation. As it stands, all 50 states require specific vaccines for school-aged children, although each grants exemptions for students unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons. The power struggle—pitting parents against parents—arises in the 19 states that allow families to opt out of vaccination requirements by claiming a "philosophical exemption," whether based on personal, moral, or religious beliefs.
