Should the government require children to be vaccinated for preventable diseases?

It should always be the choice of the parent. Individual circumstances should be thought about but public ad campaigns should be funded.

Should be an option

More science backed (in basic level English) information should be published to heavily show the benefits for and the risks against. Shouldn't be mandatory

Yes, but offer three separate vaccines for MMR and allow parents to vaccinate at separate time to other courses

Complicated. Vaccines are great, unless someone's genetic makeup makes them have adverse side effects.

No, there are too many "vaccines" around these days. Investigations into the ethics and effectiveness of them needs to be done as well as side effects.

No, the government should not be able to force you to take medication, fund public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits.

I'm personally in favour of vaccines, but in the case of COVID-19, they clearly don't stop the spread of the disease.

No it should be the parents choice but full disclosure of what is in the vaccines and how important they are should be provided. So parents are fully informed

It should be the parents choice and if the child is an older child in high school they can also have an input on the choice after being educated

Yes, but only for deadly and harmful diseases, and only if the vaccinations have been tested for a long period of time and are deemed safe for use with little to no effect on future health.

I don’t trust the government’s decisions and pressure propoganda anymore after seeing kids affected by the covid vaccines.

No, parents should be given enough information to make their own decisions as to what vaccines are put into their children's bodies.

No but they should encourage it

Yes, except for cases in which it would be medically unsafe (for example, for immunocompromised children who cannot safely receive certain vaccines)

No, we have free will although not vaccinating is a terrible idea unless you know you’re allergic to it

No, let it be a parents choice wether their child has any form of vaccination

Only if parents consent

It should be illegal to not vaccinate your child unless there are extenuating medical circumstances

If you refuse to vaccinate your kids then you must take them out of the public schooling system

Vaccines should never me made mandatory under any circumstances. We need more information on the pros and cons of vaccines and other medicines so parents can make their own fair and just opinion.

I don’t think we need a government really. Should be a community for unvaccinated children to go to school.

No, but require vaccination in order to attend schools and provide an exception for religious beliefs

Yes. It's for a healthy and safe population and if a child doesn't have the vaccine early in life they can become a carrier.

yes but with exceptions for medical conditions and religious beliefs which make the use of vaccines difficult

No, but require vaccination to attend any school and hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children or adults

Have it as the automatic option, and if don't want it make them sign form making them liable and undergo some sort of class to explain importance

Only if they are comfortable with getting it children should make their own decisions in order to become independent

I think it should be optional but if the reason a child is not vaccinated is due to religious or cultural reasons then that’s fine any other reason should be a fine and other punishment

Pharmaceutical companies should submit all vaccines for independent testing before being administered to children

Making Vaccination a Condition for School Attendance, with clearly defined medical exemptions.
• Robust Education Campaigns to counter misinformation and build public trust in vaccines rather than relying solely on mandates.
• Supportive Measures, such as easy access to vaccines, reminders for parents, and culturally sensitive outreach.
• Flexibility for Genuine Objections, with a narrow pathway for conscientious exemptions, monitored for abuse

It should be the parents choice but professionals should advise them to make the right decisions for their children.

No, but invest in science education so people stop being so stupid and actually understand the science of why they should take the vaccine

No, that is the parents decision, but they should be held criminally liable for passing deadly disease to other children, potentially with a murder charge if they die. We should also fund public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits as well to encourage parents to vaccinate their children.

The government should get people to be vaccinated but not control the people. Do very motivational ways of trolling people to be vaccinated against diseases because they might not be smart enough to get a vaccine themselves

Parents/guardian who've made an informed not to vaccinate ie educated on the issue, met with Health professionals can be exempt from having.

Only vaccinated kids with vaccines which are safe and thoroughly tested and researched and will not cause long term affects

Yes, as long as there are significant long term studies proving its safe and there is a great need for protection from this disease

it depends if the disease will affect the children, if not focus more on who are likely to be affected by the disease such as an older person.

NO!!! Every person from the age of 13 or above should have the allowance to make the decision for them selves. And if they are under the age of 13 then the most reliable adult (in most cases the parent) should make the decision for them.

Yes but only for serious diseases which kill thousands yearly.Also not if it goes against someone religion etc.

No - but only since the mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was described as deadly, which led to the majority of people feeling it necessary to get a rushed and potentially unnecessary vaccine.

Only if the vaccinations are proven to be safe over the long term and should be available as individual shots rather than batched,

depends on the condition of the child. it shouldnt be forced but it should be considered as an option to discuss further with professionals.

I think they should however the people who choose not to should not be allowed to attend public schools if it is diseases of a certain lethality with exceptions for religious beliefs.

I believe immigrants to be vaccinated for deadly diseases the uk doesn’t have and quarantine them to make sure they don’t carry any

Yes for vaccines that are known to be safe and diseases that are known to be dangerous; no for vaccines whose safety is unproven or for diseases that are anyway mild

it should be recommended but not required, the children's next of kin should be responsible to make their decision based on their beliefs and what they think is best for their child. nobody should be forced but it should be recommended.

It should be very very strongly encouraged but with the exemption of medical reasons and religious reasons

No vaccines should be made available for those who chose to use them, but not mandatory let the parents decide for there own child what is best.

No! The state has no business in the privacy of people's medical decisions. Especially when they're paid to promote the medical products.

No but where non-vaccination results in the need for NHS care, the parent(s) should be financially liable for the cost.

Depends if the pharma companies can be made to be honest about the side effects and made to provide clinical trial data to the public that has not been altered.

No not by law but should encourage as many as possible through education & ad campaigns of benefits and risks, allow exceptions based on beliefs

No, and both make parents criminally responsible for spreading both deadly and less serious diseases, and also allow children to make their own decisions from high school age, and also require vaccinations for deadly diseases to attend any school / group

Yes. But only some that have been tested for years and not whipped up in months like the covid vaccine

Yes so those who cannot be vaccinated for legitimate medical reasons or age will have some degree of protection.

No. Absolutely no way anyone can force any treatment on anyone, but deliver a strong for and against agument with penalties for proven transmission after a refusal for vaccine

No, it should be a personal choice, but I think to go to school you should have one. Have to have one.

It depends on a range of different factors such as religion, chance of having deadly effects of others and the child.

Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases and those who can not be vaccinated should be quarantined until they are no longer containous. For non-deadly diseases fund public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits instead

No, but if the fall ill - the NHS should not be obliged to pay for ongoing care or support after A&E

Up to the parents. What ever fits best and or the individual to make up their own mind if it comes to it

Every parent should have the right to decide what happens to their own child but if there’s an out break have a better safe system in place

No, fund greater education on vaccination, and attempt to combat disinformation, required for work in the health and education sectors.

Yes but there should be enough research conducted on each vaccination to ensure it is safe and little to no side effects

No, but allow parents the right to choose. Information should be non bias and all side effects be known

No, it is the decision of the parents, however, Covid so-called vaccines (they aren't vaccines) should be recalled and governments charged with crimes against humanity following the scamdemic

Depending on the vaccine and how long it has been studied for - New vaccines should NOT be compulsory

Yes, unless there is a medical reason, backed by 2 doctors, that doing so would be a risk to the child.

Increase education around vaccines, the risks of not having vaccines, require vaccines for deadly diseases

Yes, but independent ad campaigns should be promoted to identify risks and benefits and to ease people’s concerns. This should not be associated with any pharmaceutical company or government office.

Yes, but not for coronavirus

Yes, only if these vaccines are 100% safe

Yes, unless there is a valid reason not to

No, but the use of vaccines should be strongly encouraged.

While I believe in vaccination, it should be up to the parent if they wish for their child to be vaccinated. However, extreme illness should be mandatorily vaccinated

No, people should be free to decide for themselves.

I think everyone should get vaccinations and it should be frowned upon if they fail to do so (unless there is a valid reason why they didn't get a vaccination which is absolutely fine) however it still should be optional.

Yes, but only if their parents agree to it

No but should strongly educate and push vaccines

you should have your own choice

Yes, hold parents criminally liable if they don’t vaccinate their child and they test positive of preventable diseases which are spread

Ask the child if he would like it if night he will have to have it in the next couple of weeks so they won’t get I’ll

No, invest in education which promotes critical thinking, make vaccine research (in fact all research) publicly available, increase mental health services

No, parent's should have the freedom to choose what goes into their children's bodies but there must be investment into research and education regarding vaccines.

Yes for life saving purposes after MANY years of evidence, but not Covid. It’s not got enough evidence.

Another multi layer, it should be a personal choice of the parents, however, it should be recorded and understood.

Only for those where vaccines have been tried and tested for a long period of time over 25+ years with no side effects !

Putting drugs into a child should solely be on the parent. No person nor entity should have determination of this. However, this should also be case by case and if a parent says no to specific drugs they should be interviewed as to why.

No, but if the child then contracts the disease and becomes unwell the parents should be liable for negligence, and have to pay the medical fees.

I believe that this should be the decision of the parents but they should be held accountable if their children spread deadly diseases because of this.

I believe in the right of choosing what you want. No one should br forces to do anything when it comes to their bodies.

They shouldn't be allowed too without clear evidence and proof that these will never cause harm or danger too someone long term in their life as without clear undeniable evidence that these are safe then they should never be mandatory I do believe that vaccines are very good and have prevented so many things but I do fear that if they become mandatory that they could then lack in the requirement of making sure these are safe may fall.

No, parents should have the right to choose however greater education of the benefits and science backed evidence being heavily promoted

They should compel parents to vaccinate their children with vaccines that have been thorough trialed and tested.

I think yes, with the exception being if there are medical issues which would interfere with the vaccine and it puts the child at more harm.

COVID has proven that the government cannot be trusted with this decision, when they wanted to vaccinate people/children who had a minuscule chance of dying of it themselves. Therefore the parents should decide for their own children, because children are not to be used to protect adults (only the other way around in certain voluntary circumstances).

Yes if they are fully tested using the correct protocols and procedures outlined by the leading experts in vaccination.
