Parents in Germany who fail to vaccinate their children could face hefty fines after the German government backed a bill requiring all children to receive a measles jab before entering school or kindergarten.
If the German parliament approves the bill, parents will be required to provide evidence that their child has been vaccinated before they are enrolled, and will face fines of up to €2,500 if they fail to do so."Whether in kindergarten, at the childminder or at school -- we want to protect all children against measles infection," Health Minister Jens Spahn said in a statement.
Unvaccinated children will be excluded from kindergartens, the ministry said.WHO has deemed vaccine hesitancy -- the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines -- a top 10 threat to global health in 2019.Among high-income countries, the United States topped the list of children not vaccinated with the first dose, according to WHO.
