From January 2016 parents who do not vaccinate their kids will lose up to $15 000 in allowances/concessions, except in cases of medical and some religious reasons.

There are many cases of people contracting measles after the MMR, vaccine strain polio, flu like symptoms following H1N1. There is no question that these people are therefore contagious.
Fortunately, vaccine shedding is not usually a problem because:
And of course, children shed viruses and are truly contagious if they aren't vaccinated and naturally develop any of these vaccine preventable diseases.

oral polio vaccine is no longer used
in australia either.

I don't care to waste my time on people that use dodgy past research to back up their claims that vaccination is bad.
I have known enough people who have suffered a lifetime of pain through preventable child hood diseases to know that I would prefer immunisation, even if it is only effective enough to minimise the severity of the disease.
One of my friends from school had polio as a child and I worked with another person who had it. They'd both give anything to be free of the lingering effects. I've had a close relative have a stroke caused by chicken pox, know someone who's child was blinded by measles and another who's child died from chicken pox. So no, I don't need to bother with your dodgy information. I have done my own research and have had close family detrimentally affected by preventable disease.
So no, I do mean it. I don't care if you chose not to vaccinate but the least you could do is warn others about your choice so they can avoid contact if they choose to.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________Why are you so hostile? Please enlighten me as to what part of my research is "dodgy past research" Most of my sources are totally current. I urge you to check out 10 minutes of a Dr Suzanne Humphries lecture or google Dr Toni Bark MD. I'm not going to post endless YT links because I know alot here dont take kindly to that, but if you really want to know where I get my information from spend just 10 minutes and follow up some of either of these doctors sources.
I'm not hostile at all. I've just had family members seriously affected by so called harmless diseases that some say we don't need to be vaccinated against.
Every time I've followed any of the trails of the anti-vax crowds they inventably lead back to the same discredited sources.
Nope, I don't have time to go through it all again. And no, I don't want to see any more infants die needlessly from preventable disease, or see more infants and children suffer serious illness caused by same.

Unlike you I'm not trying to push an agenda, I'm just sharing some information I have learnt over the last few years.
I would rather have those 1.5 million children vaccinated, which is entirely feasible. Infrastructure to improve living conditions for those 1.5 million children is not possible.
The sweet little babies and children in Australia who have died or have brain damage drank clean water.

Here are some people from first world countries who did not have vaccinations.

"So really the only thing any of this proves is that no matter what you type into google, you will find something that relates to the key words you typed in... "
The original study is now well and truly debunked . It is a pity that the charlatan Wakefield's bogus study in 1998 was grasped by so many with no medical qualifications or basic research capabilities, and even today resonates with a few like nuts .
From BMA:
"In the decade since publication of the Lancet paper, measles vaccination rates fell in Britain. During that time, cases of measles in England and Wales rose 25-fold to 1,370 cases in 2008, according to the British Health Protection Agency."
SHW, with medical research you should search for peer reviewed papers/studies. Failing that, search within the recognised major professional medical authorities.

here's a bit more on that Nova

About time.
Criteria is still far too loose, it needs tigtening up even more so very few loopholes.
Although the media was a bit naughty with how they reported that baby dying of whooping cough,
although it fitted the agenda that they wanted to push !!!

I think that's an infringement on civil rights.
People who are seriously anti-vax will simply shrug it off anyway.

Well, that should increase the membership of some religious sects.

I don't agree, I think if they are serious, they need to make it compulsory for everyone, with the exception of medical grounds.
Are the people on incomes too high to qualify for FTB and CCR going to be exempt? looks that way and looks like discrimination.
Same again for Religious exemptions.

No, I meant there should be no exemptions, other than medical.
I also think there should be compulsory booster shots for adults..... before they start this nonsense of forcing people on certain incomes to have them.
