Vaccinations

[Tiziana0773]

Hi everyone,
we mouved to london few months ago.

I would like to know if vaccines are compulsory in England.

I received a letter from the school for my consent to: the diphteheria, tetanus, polio and meningococcal ACWY.

I don't know what to do

Can you explain to me what are the rules for vaccines?

Thanks for any information

Thank god they are NOT legally enforced!

Absolutely the worst thing you can possibly do to a child.

Please have a read of ‘Vaccines - a reappraisal ‘ before you make your decision.

I am an ex-vaxxer and totally against them and I know that here on Mumsnet the general consensus is herd mentality so you’re going to get a lot of pro vaccine crap.

I know that I’ll get slated and absolutely do not care that I’m going to get slated for my opinion here.

Bring it on!

But, yes please please please do your research. Start by asking your GP for the vaccine insert (not the little printout they give you), the actual vaccine insert that lists all of the toxic ingredients and the awful side effects.

@TheBreastmilksOnMe no the worst possible thing you can do is allow your child to get a preventable disease that kills them. Or allow your child to pass on a preventable disease that will kill another child who cannot be vaccinated.
@MyBreadIsEggy I couldn't help myself

There's always at least one...🙄

I wonder if unvaccinated children were guaranteed to get the diseases our vaccinated kids protect them from we would still have anti vaxxers?

Anyone want to volunteer their kids to be infected with polio? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Hi OP. No they are not compulsory as others have said. But please get your child vaccinated. I wouldn't want anyone to get a horrible disease because a parent didn't vaccinate their child.

@Spiderbanana probably not because the faulty gene that allows people to believe in conspiracies would gradually die out, as none of the children of anti-vaxxers made it to adulthood.

Here in Aus if you don't vaccinate you don't get any government allowances or tax benefits and you'd be struggling to find a school or childcare centre that would accept your child
