(ANSA) - Rome, August 17 - Parents who don't vaccinate their
children will not be allowed to put them in nursery schools even
if they pay fines, according to a health ministry decree
establishing 10 compulsory pre-school vaccinations. The decree,
which was was approved on July 28, makes vaccines obligatory
for school admission. The legislation makes 10 vaccines
obligatory for admission to nursery and elementary schools for
children up to six, while four others are strongly recommended.
Parents who fail to comply face fines of up to 500 euros.
The government passed the decree after Italy suffered an
upsurge in measles cases amid growing vaccine skepticism.
