No, fund public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits instead

Disagree

No, but hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

This answer is not applicable to the UK context, as the UK does not have a state-level system of government like the United States. The Liberal Democrats would likely focus on national-level policies and initiatives to promote vaccinations and public health.
