Australian vaccination rates are at an all-time high

in #australia8 years ago (edited)

Australia once again is ahead of The United States and most other countries.

Australia has taken away 15 thousand dollars of benefits a year from families who choose not to vaccinate their kids. Most medical professors say that for herd immunity the rates of vaccination must be above 95% or the disease could still easily spread and become a plague. Humanity has had no major outbreaks in a long time (100 years overdue comparing with the average) we are growing faster and are more crowded than ever. Once an outbreak starts we most likely would not be able to stop it.

They went even further to help this cause and made it impossible for any children to join kindergarten, preschool or childcare without getting vaccinations. It may sound harsh but the future of mankind is more important than your religious or "but the internet told me this" values.

“It means that all parents can be absolutely certain and secure now that when their kids are going into childcare, that the government’s enacted a policy that’s lifted the immunisations up for things like whooping cough and polio, so that kids are protected in childcare," Porter told the ABC.

According to The Guardian, last year, the government announced that the only religious group that was eligible for religious exemptions, the Christian Scientists, would no longer be able to do so.
