What the petition asks
Make vaccinations such as the MMR and/or any other deemed suitable by the Department for Health and Social Care a mandatory prerequisite for any child or person to attend state funded education facilities.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how disease can spread and impact lives. Whilst the right of a parent to decide the best for their children is rightly honoured, it does not give the right to put others in their community at risk from preventable diseases. The vulnerable should be protected such as newborns who are too young to receive vaccinations or those with underlying health conditions.
It is more apparent now than ever that protecting the NHS and saving lives is critical at all times.
