Recently there has been many discussions in the media about vaccinations. After numerous measles cases last year, the authorities of some countries want to introduce strict restrictions on parents who do not wish to vaccinate their children. According to the assumptions presented in the media, children who are not vaccinated may be prohibited from entering educational institutions. Schools shouldn’t refuse to admit unvaccinated children because of an education obligation, medical contraindications and right of every person making decisions about health.
First of all, every child has the right to free education regardless of the decisions his parents make. The law permits every child to attempt to the public school and learn. What is more, when a child gets sick due to the lack of vaccination, his or her parents are responsible for that and he or she doesn’t cause the danger for other children because, thanks to the vaccination, they are immune to this disease.
Secondly, some children have contraindications to vaccination, for example, an allergy to the component of the drug or insufficiently developed immune system. In this case, if parent decides to vaccinate the child only to get the right to enroll to school, it can badly affect his or her health condition and cause lots of problems in the future.
Thirdly, everybody has the right to care for his or her own health. There are the researches proving that vaccination doesn’t always have a positive influence on our health. Every human being has a right to decide and care about his or her well-being. In case of children, it’s up to parents to have an option to vaccinate or not and they are fully conscious of taking responsibility for their children’s health.
To sum up, every child should have a right to attempt to educational institutions and learn. We cannot exclude a child from social communities if it does not threaten others, including children who are unvaccinated, because they it doesn’t cause the danger to their collegues. We should also pay attention to children who can not be vaccinated due to medical contradictions and treat them in a more individual way. What is more, schools should respect the choice of a parent about vaccinating their child because it is theirs responsibility for his or her health.
