Social media has been blamed for spreading anti-vaccine messages and generating concern among parents. The US and Australia are among other countries where vaccinations against different diseases are compulsory for schoolchildren., in May 2019, into measles-immunisation policies in seven different healthcare systems said:"Recent policies aimed at increasing childhood immunisation rates through the introduction of compulsory vaccination are certainly producing positive effects, by raising the proportion of children protected against measles.
"There are also major doubts about how such a policy could be implemented and monitored and risks resulting in unintended consequences as well as a loss of public confidence in vaccines."Chief executive Shirley Cramer welcomed Mr Hancock's willingness to keep all options on the table but added:"Compulsory vaccination should be a last resort.These could include:better reminders for parents when vaccinations were dueA UK-wide compulsion policy might also be hard to justify.
Yes but it makes me uncomfortable that the gov has that level of control, give parents info, talk to them and the choice of having the as single shots and spaced out.
Yes
No, death and taxes are enough
You do get the impression that anti vaxers are who those ClearBlue Pregnant/Not Pregnant tests are for because they can't understand one line not pregnant two lines pregnant.
Yes, mandatory , then no schooling and No home tutoring .
Not unless they are going to make single vaccines available for people with allergies or immune disorders who cannot take multiple vaccines in one.
Absolutely yes.
Yes!
No
If my project to reintroduce smallpox is successful I wouldn’t be at all surprised if vaccination was made compulsory.
Yes.
Yes all types, not just for those coming from other countries seeing that old illnesses are returning
Yes
Yes unless there is genuine medical need for it not to be offered. And the medical need should come with a medical letter from 3 different medical professionals attached to a hospital or GP practice saying it not required.
Absolutely yes-unvaccinated children are a risk to themselves and others through no fault of their own. Parents need to be responsible
Of course no brainer
No but if you don’t vaccinate your children you shouldn’t be allowed to expose them to other children or adults
(Y) ✔️
Yes
100%
Yes . People take for granted things like measles-,but this is based on a solid nationwide immunisation programme. Post the lingering stench of Autism causality we are no longer measles free & sadly this will lead to illness , disabilities & even death. All due to ignorance.
No, never, vaccination is a good idea, but parental free will to chose should never be removed. Educate and encourage those who are reluctant but don't make it mandatory.
Yes
Yup!
Yes
Hell yes.....thick mellenials not understand the damgers of these mmr diseases be ause we have vaccinated them out...but oh face book says bad for baby boo hoo. Get a grip it is too important, history will show you the horror.
Yes
Yes
Absolutely not BBC.
No!
Yes.
Yes! Next question.
Yes
Prefer it not to be compulsory but those that decline to have their children inoculated put other children at risk
Personal choice
Article says ”Religious objections would have to be respected.” Does that mean such religious people would be exempt but still able to attend the schools where it’s compulsory for everyone else, thus undermining the whole thing? Isn’t the point to overrule people’s beliefs?
Like the BBC licence, no.
No brainer of course and fine the parents a substantial amount if they fail to keep their children safe
Yes unless you are medically endangered by them. If you want to be part of society (schools hospitals public services etc) you should be vaccinated if safe to do so. Full stop end of story. Antivaxers and their “movement” is idiotic and dangerous.
As far as I can remember the BCG was compulsory which we all got at school, but yes of course vaccinations should be compulsory.
That shouldn't be a question.
Yes please. Inject everyone with toxic heavy metals. Yes please. Remove the fundamental premise of medical treatment ie consent. Yes please. I'm immune from the disease I've been vaccinated for, but I can still catch it from people who haven't. You npc dumbasses are beyond hope.
Yes they bloody should be, stuff ignorant parents who think they are doing good for the sake of their children and allowing them to spread diseases to the rest of the school, should also apply to EU migrants and non EU migrants coming here with their kids no jabs no fuckin entry
Yes
A George Orwell state looms
Yes!
As compulsory as not being racist.
yes
Yes. Talk about an easy question...
Yes.. and parents not taking the kids for the vaccinations Shd be treated as being negligent.
Yes. With the caveat that children at risk are tested for *serious* allergic reactions first.
Certainly not... The mmr jab is sending autism through the roof.... Big pharma is not vetted.
No, people who choose not to get them deserve to succumb to natural selection
I don’t think they should be compulsory. You just can’t attend school if you don’t and certain public spaces
Absolutely. My immune system is very low after chemotherapy I could be at a risk along with thousands of others. If your child isn’t immunised they d should not be allowed to attend school
Yes, but a choice to pay for individual injections if parents prefer
Yes
yea
Omg autism! Autism! Poison injections! Autism! I did my research! I read a webpage written by I believe is a man, don’t think he was a scientist but he must be right, his opinion was compelling! Poison! Autism!
No!
YES, for anyone with an immune deficiency catching any of the relatively so-called minor childhood illnesses can be life threatening , trouble is many parents don't think of the consequenses for others.
Yes.
Yep. They should.
Yes.
Yes
Without vaccinations these diseases will not be eradicated .
Absolutely yes!!
I think yes, but what do they intend to do if a parent absolutely refuses to have their kid vaccinated?
Nope
This shouldn’t be a question.
Yes.
No, the government shouldn’t have any right what so ever to force this upon us, no vaccs no school though.
It's minimal risk to have the vaccines and a much larger risk to go without. All my children are vaccinated. I wouldn't take choice away from a parent though. I would however, educate them better to take the minimal risk.
Yes
Yes, obviously
Yes
Yes they should be compulsory
Yes. It’s shocking that kids parents are leaving them exposed to terrible diseases.
Yes
No!
No.. they get it wrong far too often Incompetence
Handing body Automony over the gov's and big pharma industry .kindly ......FCUK OFF
Mi momy sed vakseens cos otism
100% Yes!
Yes
Childhood diseases - yes, or- if a non-vaccinated child subsequently suffers a relevant infection that impacts the rest of their life or lives of others then perhaps the impacted party should be able to take legal action against the parents for “reckless endangerment”.
Yes Ronjo
Yes. Is this even a question?
Yes. We have to think as a community. The benefit of all, not just what we want.
Yes.
Absolutely
Yes they should
Yes
Yes, if you want to access state funded health or social care, or education, you need to do your bit to reduce your potential access/needs.
The power of prayer will surely do the same job
Yes
Absolutely, unless there is a genuine contraindication. We don’t consider feeding our children an optional thing, vaccination is no different.
You should be deemed a threat if you aren’t.
Yes, my idiot mother doesn’t believe in vaccinations. I contracted measles and meningitis as a child... and have been left with epilepsy. All because she doesn’t have a bloody clue and thinks it’s some big conspiracy.
How is that even a viable question?
Obviously they should
Yes
Yes, definitively!
Yes.
Not unless voting is also compulsory.
Yes. A healthy person can carry the flu for example and not know. The danger is in spreading the bug to vulnerable people or people who for a medical reason can’t have the vaccine. These vulnerable people end up really sick and some may die. We need herd immunity.
Don’t ask me, ask MumsnetTowers
YES, because there is a VARIETY OF INTELLECTS ON THE ACADEMIC SPECTRUM AND WE..NEED TO PROTECT THE YOUNG GENERATIONS x
Yes. And free.
Sure. Being dumb should be no excuse to not get vaccinated
Yes. They shouldn't have to be. But carpetbaggers selling antivax don't care that children will die, and some parents will fall for their lies. So yes.
Yes. No opt outs for choosing not to believe in science.
Hell no!!!!
Yes
100% 👌🏻 - kids shouldn’t be allowed in school without them. Irresponsible and reckless parenting that puts other kids at risk as a result
Yes.
Yes.
no.
Yes
Yes
Hitler certainly believed they should.
Yes. Obviously.
Naturally
Yes
Yes.
Let me have a think ....yes.
Yes.. if my daughters got ill because of absolute ignorance they’ll be hell to pay.
Yes, in most circumstances.
For children, yes!
Hi,I am a graphic designer.If you need any print design like flyer,brochure,postcard,banner design,please knock me.Thank you.
Yes
Yes!
yes
Philosophical and religious reasons must not be entertained, otherwise we won't succeed in reducing the risk or eliminating once for all the diseases.
Yes But it must be totally free
It depends on what's in the potion.
