(ANSA) - Rome, September 12 - Some Rome children were sent
home at the start of the academic year on Tuesday after parents
failed to present documentation to show they were in compliance
with a new law making vaccinations obligatory for school
admission.
"Out if 263 (pupils) this morning, 97 were not in compliance
regarding vaccination documentation," said Donatella Gentilini,
the head of a school in the La Rustica district on the outskirts
of the capital.
"Most of them sorted out the situation in the morning, but we
had to send some children home, asking them to come back
tomorrow with self-certification. We are talking about around
10.
"I think that 15% are still not in compliance out of all the
pupils enrolled".
