very useful and innovative thought. But I also feel then schools should also do the needful for ensuring these children do get vaccinated.
Very true point, since the kids have weaker immunity than adults it’s necessary to provide protection to themselves as well as others just to make sure there’s no harm to anyone from anyone. Also Schools are the first place to be started with this kind of initiative as kids spend majority of their time in schools. Hence if the initiative is taken by one school later on it can create a cascading effect. Also we as parents must also ensure for the safety of the kids along with schools to make the place more safe and healthy.
Agreed, vaccination should be made compulsory, or the school should initiate a vaccination drive to stop the spread of communicable diseases.
I feel anti-vaxxers would use this as an excuse not to put their children in schools, though. Education should remain as accessible as possible. But in an environment such as a school, it is true that unvaccinated people may prove to be a danger.
Vaccination is an important aspect of modern medicine and healthcare . It prevents and controlls diseases and disorders among population .
Like any other guidelines for admission in schools , vaccination must be included . Vaccination which are needed at particular age should be served as mandatory timeline for all students of various age groups .
Apart from school staff , hospitals and healthcare workers should take initiative of making this mandatory for students and also for their guardians .
This can cover a wide range of general public.

Of course, mandatory vaccination for school admission is a necessary step. As it prevents the disease transmission, protects children’s health and ensures public safety. School is one of the places where children interact closely, so they are more prone to communicable diseases. “Prevention is better than cure”. It is important to get vaccinated before joining school. Schools are also responsible for children’s health and disease transmission. They have to conduct campaigns and vaccination programs within the school itself, so that students can get vaccinated easily, which is a cost effective way to reduce disease transmission and create herd immunity.
Yes..this definitely needed
Vaccination drive is really important and schools should also play a role in creating awareness.
I agree that making vaccination mandatory for school admission is essential for public health. Schools are high-contact environments where vaccine-preventable diseases can spread rapidly. Mandatory vaccination ensures herd immunity, protects medically vulnerable children, and reduces the risk of outbreaks. Strong scientific evidence supports vaccine safety and effectiveness, and existing school-entry mandates have proven successful worldwide. School-based vaccination checks and periodic immunization drives can further promote a safe and healthy learning environment.
School is the best place to launch such drives and vaccination is really important to prevent our children from communicable diseases.
That will be a very good initiative to make vaccination compulsory but it will raise major ethically concern as it will defy the right to make autonomous decision.
Yes very much!
Ita important to adapt vaccine according to outbreaks and taking care of public health is necessary, any new vaccine should be taken timely without any delay, many school provide with vaccination of students in schools promoting health priority of students
Schools should verify and encourage vaccinations to ensure safety. They promote community health and are legally supported.
