Children attending nursery/school must have up-to-date vaccinations like the MMR
We want the Government to require all children attending nursery or school to be up to date with their routine childhood vaccinations, including the MMR vaccine, unless medically exempt. We believe this would help prevent outbreaks, protect vulnerable people, and keep children and communities safer.

Background
Vaccines protect children from serious preventable diseases like measles, polio and flu. We want the Government to require children attending nursery or school to be up to date with routine vaccinations, unless they have a medical exemption, to help prevent outbreaks and protect public health. Unvaccinated children are at much higher risk of severe illness, including complications such as brain swelling, permanent blindness, or death from measles.
