German health minister proposes fining parents who can't prove their children have been vaccinated against measles

Minister Jens Spahn told the German weekly Bild am Sonntag that parents who can't prove their children have been vaccinated for the highly contagious and potentially deadly disease should have to pay up to 2,500 euros .

In an interview published Sunday, Spahn said children without measles vaccinations would also be banned from going to daycare facilities to protect those who are too young or medically unable to have the measles vaccinations. Germany had 203 reported cases of measles in the first 10 weeks of 2019, more than twice as many as in the same period last year but fewer than in 2017.Related Stories

Good move

If they r making them mandatory, which is good, then it should be for life. As an adult if u don't get your boosters get fined. But a reliable tracking system is needed. All or nothing system

To think that back in 70’s, we automatically inoculated our children. A saner time...

Someone compared me to Mengele for suggesting parents be legislated to vaccinate kids, or face jail time for reckless endangerment and failing to provide for their kids! Not to mention being a public health risk!

Canada needs to implement this law!

Awesome! 👏
