Very strongly agree

Yes, they are essential to protecting other children who are too young to be vaccinated

This position strongly aligns with the SSP's emphasis on collective welfare and public health.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) generally supports policies that promote public health and welfare. Mandatory vaccinations for preventable diseases align with the party's commitment to public health. However, the SSP also values individual freedoms and rights, which might slightly temper their support for mandatory measures.

Agree

Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases

Focusing on deadly contagious diseases aligns with the SSP's public health priorities. However, the party might prefer a broader approach to vaccination that includes preventable diseases beyond those that are deadly and contagious.

Agree

No, but require vaccination in order to attend public school

Requiring vaccinations to attend public school is a compromise position that balances public health needs with individual freedoms. The SSP might view this as a reasonable measure to protect public health while respecting personal choices.

Agree

Yes, but with exceptions for those whose religious beliefs forbid use of vaccines

While the SSP supports public health measures, it also respects diversity and religious freedoms. This position allows for a balance between public health and respecting religious beliefs, which the SSP might find acceptable.

Slightly agree

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

While the SSP would likely support public education on vaccinations, relying solely on ad campaigns without any mandates might be seen as insufficient for ensuring public health.

Disagree

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

Holding parents criminally liable for the transmission of diseases could be viewed by the SSP as overly punitive and not in line with their approach to public health, which favors education and access to healthcare over criminalization.

Disagree

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

The SSP, being a party that operates within the context of the UK and specifically Scotland, might not see the decentralization of this decision to a 'state level' as applicable or beneficial. The party generally supports comprehensive, nationwide approaches to public health.

Strongly disagree

No

The SSP's focus on public health and welfare makes it unlikely that they would oppose mandatory vaccinations without significant qualifications, such as exemptions for medical or religious reasons.
