Public Health Protection
Mandatory vaccination helps prevent outbreaks of diseases like measles, mumps, and polio, especially in densely populated school environments.
It ensures herd immunity, protecting children who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons.
Scientific Evidence
Vaccines are safe, effective, and rigorously tested. Their benefits far outweigh the rare risks.
Countries with high vaccination rates show lower rates of vaccine-preventable diseases.
Social Responsibility
Children interact closely in schools, and unvaccinated individuals can act as carriers, endangering others.
Mandates reflect a collective commitment to public safety, similar to laws on seatbelts or drunk driving.
Legal and Precedent Support
Many countries and states already implement school-entry vaccination laws with proven success in reducing disease incidence.
True that. Vaccination should be made compulsory before admission in schools so as to reduce onset and transmission of diseases from silent carriers specially which the students might be carrying from their family members. Even now a days even deworming programs are regularly held in school after every 6 months.
Hopefully they’ll make vaccination compulsory too before entering or even the scheduled vaccine should be made available by the school itself or a visit to nearby clinic for getting the vaccination done is necessary.
True!!
Vaccinations can help prevent various communicable diseases and it is very important to prevent its spread.
Seasonal flu vaccine is one important example to prevent its spread especially in young children.
