has urged doctors to “get on the pitch”, and help him to encourage parents to have their children vaccinated in the face of pseudoscience which was costing lives.Mr Harris said if doctors did not get more involved it would it leave open to those who peddled pseudoscience, misinformation and disinformation at the cost of people’s lives.
He said parents who did not have their children vaccinated, were not just making a decision in relation to their own child but one which could impact on others. “It is absolutely irresponsible and reprehensible to send your child without a vaccination to a school or creche where they could spread diseases.”The Minister said he had asked the Attorney General to look at the constitutional position and to advise if there were any legislative solutions.to speak with one voice on the issue and to establish an alliance of health professionals.
Mr Harris said he would report back to Cabinet colleagues on the issue of mandatory vaccination when he had received the Attorney General’s advice. However the Minister ruled out imposing financial sanctions on parents who did not get their children vaccinated if mandatory vaccination was not permitted on constitutional grounds.
