This is well overdue – all children should be vaccinated against these diseases.

So pleased that this has been brought in. Those parents that choose not to vaccinate their child should not be allowed to put others at risk.

Good. there has been a rise in preventable diseases by parents who are being preyed upon by morons.

It’s about time that everywhere was up to date with this- unvaccinated children mixing with other children pose a risk to themselves.

Yep great idea and thanks for sharing the article.

My kindy already has this rule in place following a parent vote last year. It is a fantastic idea and about time… nothing worse than seeing the defenceless children sick and suffering, or worse. In a country like ours, where the immunisations are bulk billed, I really cant see why you wouldn’t do it anyway

This is a great plan and in the nation’s best interest. We have to protect our children, our babies. If we as adults can’t, then who will. If people choose not to vaccinate, that is their choice, however misguided. However, as a nation, we can choose not to allow them to mix with other children for fear of epidemics of diseases we’re starting to see now that can all be managed with vaccinations.

I totally agree with this plan but I also think that immunisations should be free. Also teachers should prove they are vaccinated as well

I deliberately sent my daughter to a daycare with this type of policy as she has several medical needs that mean her immune system at times is extremely low & even though I believe choice should be an option, I also personally believe vaccination is best and wanted to ‘cover all her bases’ in reducing her risk to getting something that for her could be disastrous.

Yes, should be mandatory across all of Australia!

good on them for finally taking a stand on this very important issue. they will be making a difference in unmeasurable ways and are protecting our children

This should not just be in NSW it should be across Australia – I highly support everything in this article – I just wish that everything like this be rolled out across Australia at the start not just one state – we are already putting our children at high risk because of people who choose not to vaccinate – too many children have lost their lives this year alone to diseases that could have been prevented!

some children cannot have a vaccination for medical reasons, how would this impact them? I’m all for vaccination though, I wouldn’t want my child to die from measles or chickenpox. (and I know a child who died of measles and a young father from chickenpox)

Actually most centres in Victoria wont admit unvaccinated children. However….many TEACHERS and chikd care workers are NOT vaccinated. This is a huge flaw in the herd immunity approach.

as long as doctors don’t dodgy up the exemption letters it might work

Disagree with this, many children cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons yet they are saying that other’s will be fined. Does not make any sense to me. Unvaccinated children do not spread disease and it has never been proven otherwise. There is no study or research done that involves unvaccinated children. Ingredients of vaccinations are questionable, some toxic ingredients are used. We are not a free country. Turnball’s wife has a direct link to the vaccination makers and a financial vested interest.

Totally agree with this plan.

I am for this stance. When my son went to daycare it was mandatory that he was immunised and that was several years ago.

Completely agree with this move – it should be done nationally.

About time I AGREE! aLL STATES SHOULD DO THIS
