Rejected petition All UK children should receive their full immunisations recommended by the NHS.

Every year, thousands of parents choose not to vaccinate their children. They do this for a variety of reasons; they are rarely medical in nature. This leaves thousands of children in the UK vulnerable to diseases that should have been eradicated. This needs to change. Let's vaccinate all children.

More details

The government should legislate that children must be vaccinated unless a suitable medical professional advises that it wouldn't be in the best interests of the child. Vaccinated children are at risk themselves, but they also pose a risk to society as a whole, which relies on herd immunity.
