Vaccinations To Be Compulsory?

Just now on the twelve o’clock BBC news I heard that Sir Sandy Macara, former chairman of the British Medical Association, thinks that children should not be allowed to enter school when they have not been immunised. It also made headlines in today’s Guardian.

Immunisation is not compulsory in the UK. However, Welsh health minister Edwina Hart is looking at ways to make MMR vaccinations compulsory. There have been a number of serious oubreaks of measles in Wales the past years.
