Rejected petition Make Vaccines mandatory for enrolling children in schools.

Countries like Australia have already implemented a law that requires all children be vaccinated before being allowed to enrol in schools. The anti-vaxxer movement crisis is rising rapidly and we cannot stand by as the British public and let misinformation spread. Please help by signing.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

The Australian Government allows unvaccinated children to be excluded from school if they come onto contact with someone with a communicable disease or there is an outbreak of such a disease. It doesn't prevent children from being enrolled in a school if they haven't been vaccinated.
