The cabinet on Friday approved a
decree reintroducing compulsory vaccinations for school
admissions. The decree had been held up by a row between Health
Minister Beatrice Lorenzin and Education Minister Valeria Fedeli
over the age limit for the obligation, with Lorenzin wanting it
raised to 10 and Fedeli insisting it should be left at six. The
government has vowed to end a climate of vaccine skepticism in
Italy.
