While the United States deliberates on how to handle their measles outbreak, Italy has decided to take legal action. Under a new law from the Italian government, all unvaccinated kids under the age of six can be barred from public schools and while kids aged 6-16 cannot be banned they risk their parents having to pay a €500 ($560) fine. The ban comes amid a surge in measles cases in the European country. Among the 10 mandatory vaccinations for school, admission are shots for chicken pox, polio, mumps, rubella and of course, measles. The Lorenzin law, named for the former Italian Health Minister who introduced it, came into effect on Tuesday.

The original efforts to make vaccines mandatory were denounced by Italy’s current far-right Five Star Movement (M5S) government, who called into question the safety of some immunizations. The group even threatened to overturn the mandatory vaccination laws that the previous government had passed in 2017, but decided not to go through with the plan.

A change in course from the government came from a wave of criticism they received in light of the country’s measles outbreak last summer. In January 2019, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the numbers rose to a reported 165 cases, marking one of the highest numbers in Europe.

Since the law first passed, there is data from the Italian health ministry to suggest that the laws had met their intended goal with 94 percent of children having had at least one dose of the measles vaccine in June 2018, which put the numbers up two percent in six months. Before the law, Italy’s rates of vaccinations had dropped well below 80 percent a stark contrast to the 95 percent vaccination rate recommended by the World Health Organization.

A 95 percent vaccination threshold is the point that “herd immunity” is achieved, in which there is enough of the population vaccinated that the spread of diseases is highly unlikely and protects those who are too young or have special health conditions in which they cannot be vaccinated.

Health Minister Giulia Grillo told La Repubblica newspaper: “Everyone has had time to catch up,” and the government has proved they aren’t messing around. So far, according to the BBC, the local authority in Bologna has sent around 300 letters of suspension to parents and a total of 5,000 children still do not have their vaccine documents up to date.

The anti-vaccination movement has spread across the globe to cause measles epidemics around the world, which has alarmed the World Health Organization. Misinformation and discredited papers have contributed to this misplaced fear of vaccines. A significant disproved study came from Andrew Wakefield, who falsely claimed that there was a link between measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR) and autism and bowel disease in children.

A study of mandatory vaccines reported that nine European countries have mandatory vaccine laws for mumps, measles, and rubella: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia. And while all 31 European countries either recommended or introduced mandatory measures for all ten vaccines (with the exception of Iceland which does not recommend Hepatitis B) Latvia was the only other European country along with Italy that required all 10 mandatory vaccines for childhood.

Many people on the internet found the law to be a smart move

So Italy proves what a lot of people have been saying for years: Legislation is the only efficient way to stop this madness. Anti-vaxxers shouldn't be able to decide IF or WHEN they are willing to contribute to herd immunization. It's like allowing drivers to decide on what side of the road they're going to drive today or what traffic signs they think should apply to them. And if parents aren't willing to follow laws, take their children away from them.

I have no sympathy for anti-vaxxers. An unvaccinated child caused an outbreak of whooping cough at a local school where a friend of mine taught 4th grade. Not only was she not allowed to go home (had to be quarantined to make sure she did not spread it,) but a newborn child, sister to the patient zero, ended up in the hospital on a respirator and with a fever. Vaccinate your kids or keep them at home..but don't infect the rest of the population that can't be vaccinated because of your self-righteous attitude about the government!

People born in 70s only got one vaccine (polio) we caught measles, mumps and rubella naturally and our immune system fought if off as it should.

I don't understand why Anti-vaxx parents are not punished by law in some countries. It should be a criminal offense (as is in many countries), on more than one count - endangering/preventing a child from obtaining basic health care, and endangering public. F*****g idiots, I would throw them all in jail.

The problem in the southern countries in Europe is that they are fielding a huge influx of refugees from countries where some of these diseases are still fairly common, which means that unvaccinated Italian children are more likely to come into contact with these diseases. Compulsory vaccination therefore makes total sense.

In 4-5 years, most of the unvaccinated kids will no longer be with us. The other problem is that half of the internet will say they were mass murder by the Illuminati to try to prove them wrong or some sort of thing like that.

I suspect a few will become seriously sick, a small number of them will die, and most will survive. Some will get vaccinated when they're legally old enough to do so without their parents' consent. This is starting to happen as the anti-vaxxers' children reach the age to make their own medical decisions.

I hate the religion of the anti-anti vaxxer movement but I like your comment. It would indeed be a useful experiment so we could get some actual science done. The religion is f*****g nuts because they act like if a kid isn't vaccinated that everybody they are ever near will explode immediately. I hate the hyperbole of it all. I'm actually not anti vaccination (i'm on vacation right now and I just got some vaccinations for it) but I can't f*****g stand the people who take it waaaaaay too far even though they themselves don't understand the science inside and out.

The problem with allowing unvaccinated children is that they could spread diseases. Some of the vaccinated children may have siblings who are too young to be vaccinated. An infant could become quite sick and require hospitalization.

Nope. Your vaccine will work on you, because you have antibodies. But if you have a newborn or an immunocompromised relative, they are at risk. So anti-vaxxers may die off, but they will take too many innocent people with them.

How about a compromise and do what japan has done? give one vaccination at a time From what I understand it cuts the risks way down compared to multiple vacs that are given in the US.

There are no "risks". There is NO REASON not to vaccinate your kids on the current schedule. Claiming that it's "dangerous" is just an indication of how stupid you are.

I don’t think children should be banned from preschool. It is punishing the children for their parents. I very much support the fine though.

The problem with allowing unvaccinated children is that they could spread diseases. Some of the vaccinated children may have siblings who are too young to be vaccinated. An infant could become quite sick and require hospitalization.

The measles vaccine is causing the outbreaks. Stop being stupid and giving up others rights.

My vaccine only works if everyone else gets vaccines... Because “science”. Why not just let anti-vaxxers die off?

Nope. Your vaccine will work on you, because you have antibodies. But if you have a newborn or an immunocompromised relative, they are at risk. So anti-vaxxers may die off, but they will take too many innocent people with them.

How about a compromise and do what japan has done? give one vaccination at a time From what I understand it cuts the risks way down compared to multiple vacs that are given in the US.

There are no "risks". There is NO REASON not to vaccinate your kids on the current schedule. Claiming that it's "dangerous" is just an indication of how stupid you are.
