Disallow unvaccinated children in mainstream school

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

In the last six years there has been a dramatic rise in people choosing not to give childhood vaccines. This has lead to a rise in diseases we have not seen in decades and a risk to others in the community.
I feel strongly that if you choose to not vaccinate your children, you should home school.
I have spoken to mothers of children undergoing chemo whose children are not allowed back into schooo as they have no immunity and therefore unvaccinated children pose a risk.
After these conversations i feel strongly that your choice regarding vaccinating your child shouldn't be something other people's children are effected by.
