Very strongly disagree

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

The SNP is a Scottish political party, and the question of mandatory vaccinations would be decided at the national level in the United Kingdom, not at the state level as in the United States. Therefore, this answer is not applicable to the SNP's position.
