Ontario should scrap religious exemptions for student vaccinations, Toronto's top doctor says

The city’s medical officer of health, Dr. Eileen de Villa, put forward eight recommendations in a new report released Monday that aims to tackle parent’s hesitancy towards vaccinating their children .

Toronto Public Health currently offers students vaccines to protect against human papillomavirus , meningitis and hepatitis B.“To respond to this growing threat and address the root causes of vaccine hesitancy, and maintain high vaccination rates, Toronto Public Health has developed a comprehensive strategy that involves health care providers, parents, students, educators, and government agencies at the provincial and national levels,” the report reads.

The report states that when “unscientific misinformation” circulates, it puts “vulnerable babies, cancer patients of all ages, and immune-compromised individuals at unnecessary and avoidable risk of serious complications, long-term disability, and the potential for death.

All of Canada should scrap religious exemptions for student vaccinations.

Not should..its a must

Eliminate ALL religious exemptions including taxation!!!

So no freedom of belief here?

My children, my choice. You inject aborted fetal cells, aluminum, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80 and the list goes on into your child all you want. My child CANNOT give you something they do not have. Give your head a shake, slippery slope giving the gov authority over your anatomy

Yes!

Yes they should. Your religion is your right. Protecting my family is mine. When your religion impedes protection of my family by law, I have a big problem with that.
