I believe the Healthcare provider, under Government rule, should encourage the parent to vaccinate their child, however, let the child decide once given pros & cons of the vaccine
@9ZFPSQY1mo1MO
They should, but parents can opt out. If they choose to do that, they meet with a health/social professional who can discuss the risks and implications of that decision.
@9ZX76R33wks3W
No, but with significant social restrictions for people who are not vaccinated without a good medical reason.
@9ZWFB363wks3W
I don't think so. However there are some obvious outliers where a child could become seriously ill from disease, for example travelling to a country with diseases that are not local. As such, the decision should be up to the parent, however if it becomes clear that they are being overly autocratic, and end up for example travelling without taking the necessary step of vaccines for a fatal disease, and the child contracts the disease, the parent should be held accountable
@9ZW7BY93wks3W
I wish to say yes, but it violates the parents' or child's rights/beliefs if they are forced to when they do not want to.
@9ZVBJZ73wks3W
Yes but only those required after birth and in early childhood, that have been well established and researched, and with caution towards each individuals health situation
@9ZTZ4P53wks3W
The Parents of the child should be able to make their own decision on their child regarding vaccination
@9ZTWLKD3wks3W
Yes, but only for vaccines that have long term safety data. New vaccines must be optional for a minimum number of years until proven safe in real life.
