Petition Action

Make vaccinations a requirement before a child can be enrolled in a school

Petition Details

At various stages throughout childhood, vaccines are administered to prevent fatal diseases that have killed millions of children in recorded history. They're vital to our survival and to those who cannot be immunised for medical reasons. Herd immunity only works if enough people are vaccinated.

Additional Information

More details Earlier in 2017, the UK celebrated that measles had been eradicated in this country. This was hindered in the 90s by the work of (former Doctor) Andrew Wakefield. In accordance with WHO policy, 'eradicated' does not mean it was completely destroyed. It takes a 95% clearance to gain this status. There has, however, been a resurgence after the rise of the antivaxxer movement.
