Sharpe's Opinion
Tuesday, 10th Feb, 2009
From The Grauniad today:
School districts post their registration rules online and in local newspapers, and, among the requirements for parents to bring proof of identification when registering, they are, without fail, also asked to bring their child’s immunisation record showing they have been vaccinated with MMR. No proof, no place at school.
Comments
Actually they are uncharacteristically neutral on the matter. Probably because they’re finding it tough to decide whether measles being endemic in Britain is better than a system in America which has lead to 98% immunisation and historically low levels of these diseases.
Does anyone have the stats on how long the patients had been resident in the UK before showing symptoms?
It is quite shocking that standard boarding kennels have more onus on them to ensure vaccinations are up to date for dogs, tetanus for staff, and full cleaning of beds and rooms between stays, unlike the NHS.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting!
No doubt the Guardian was presenting it as an evil policy? I would look but I can’t on principle.
