'No vaccine, no school.'
Under a new law, children under six will be legally turned away from nursery, which is known as ‘Asilo’ in Italy.
The law, known as Lorenzin law, came into effect yesterday, Monday 11 March. Parents were given a deadline to provide proof of vaccination for five different conditions: chickenpox, polio, measles, mumps and rubella. Last year, it was reported just 85% of children in Italy were immunised for measles – despite a World Health Organisation recommendation that 95% should be vaccinated in order to prevent outbreaks.
