Poll: Should unvaccinated children be banned from creches and playschools?

Australia is considering a ban on unvaccinated children.

THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT is considering implementing a nationwide ban on unvaccinated children attending childcare centres or preschools.

A number of states already have “no jab, no play” laws, but now the prime minister is calling for nationwide laws.

Health groups have supported the move, saying more needed to be done to protect children.

A nationwide survey found that 5% of children in Australia were not fully vaccinated.

Members of the so-called “anti-vax” movement are opposed to vaccinating their children, believing that it can harm them and cause negative medical conditions.

Would you support a similar ban in Ireland?

Today we’re asking: Should unvaccinated children be banned from creches and playschools?

Yes (9657)
