Thread Name: BS: Arresting parents over vaccines
Subject: RE: BS: Arresting parents over vaccines
I agree that children should be vaccinated but I don't think that parents should be arrested for not having their children vaccinated. I think that parents should be educated about diseases and the vaccinations available and the consequences should their children contract one of the diseases if they aren't vaccinated.

I'm a relatively new mum, Harry is 6 months old and has had all of the vaccinations available to him for his age, I feel it is my duty as his mother to protect him to the best of my ability. I am concerned about the MMR vaccine as I know someone who's child has been diagnosed with autism and the parents are convinced that it was due to the MMR. We will be doing our research and Harry will be vaccinated whether it be with the triple vaccine or with separates spread out over a few months. I have to say that we haven't been given much information on childhood diseases and vaccinations we have had to research it ourselves. What I suppose I am saying is educate the parents.
