Some children can’t get immunised and they rely on herd immunity to stay safe.
Comment on Nurseries in England bring in Covid-style protocols as measles cases rise

They do this to protect the other children that they care for. Perhaps they should insist on proof of vaccination before allowing admittance? Probably no one would be so brave, but that’s where I would prefer to send my child. The antivaxxers could set up their own leper colony. Harsh, but I worked in Kenya as a clinical volunteer (20 years ago!). Children and adults died as a result of not being vaccinated. Simple enough for anyone to see.

That’s the tragedy and worked so very very well before antivaxers became a thing. Herd immunity is dissolving as seen by the emergent cases.

I thought you did have to prove your child was vaccinated? Seems mad that you don’t.

Not in the US, UK or most of Europe. But yes, given the risk to all people in society, it seems crazy
