Personally I agree

No jab, no play campaign launched to ban unvaccinated kids from childcare centres and preschools

CHILDCARE centres should have the right to ban unvaccinated kids from childcare centres and preschools under a proposed "no jab, no play" policy.

The Sunday Telegraph and The Daily Telegraph are today launching a campaign to stop the rise in the number of children succumbing to preventable diseases because parents are failing to have them fully immunised.

Although only 1.5 per cent of parents are "vaccine refusers" or conscientious objectors, many parents are forgetful, leaving areas of NSW with vaccination rates below 85 per cent - despite the inarguable scientific proof that the vaccination program has saved thousands of lives and eradicated diseases that crippled children just a generation ago, including polio.

Wow, I expected this topic to have had hundreds of posts by now 😮 whats this place coming to? :^O

I agree, but I'm sure it wouldn't be beyond the powers of those in authority to  allow exemptions in those relatively few cases where a medical condition makes vaccination inadvisable. 

[azureline**]

so, do they then exempt everyone who feels they have grounds on a medical basis?

example 1: baby has first immunisation at required age, seems unwell after an hour, mum takes to doctor who says, give him panadol, he will be fine.... baby passes away during that night.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is the ruling.

2 years on, they have another baby, the parents refuse to immunise.

example 2: baby is well, making all milestones, happy bubbly beautiful, has immunisation and gets a fever, is unwell for days, taken to doctor, given panadol, tepid baths, . Baby shows signs of being brain damaged within a week, can no longer hold her head up, no longer smiles or recognises her mum. Today she is an adult, cannot speak, is in a motorised wheelchair, has 24 hour care.

Would that be considered a good enough reason to be given a medical exemption for future children??

Maybe it's the OP...what name is he using in this one?.,...=same old same old...takes a HUGE ego to think people wanna read such BS....but the world has all kinds

Even so, the topic as usual, in all it's spamlike dominance is......

[lakeland27]

NW advocating a "Nanny State'' approach?. :^O why is the right always contradicting itself ? 

[twinkles**stars]

give it time punch....the night is young;-)

azure......I also have often thougt the same regarding those who vaccinate being so alarmed by the odd child who isn't. Personally I have never worried about it

[Anonymous]

but its not the odd child anymore twinks- its hit mainstream

[the_bob_delusion]

I cannot book my cat into a cattery if I do not produce a vaccination certificate. The same goes for dogs. Yet infants & toddlers are allowed to walk around without restriction.

Diptheria is on the comeback, can anybody seriously not look out for the best interests of their child?.

The lies spread about vaccinations  is criminal & that web site & the so called "doctor" is a fraud & a liar & should be arrested for criminal activity.

The stupidity of young parents following this trendy fallacious rubbish is criminal in the extreme & yet a child swimming nude on a public beach & the adult is classed as some kind of ped or worse.

The twitter & social media outrage is getting out of hand & people should stop it.
