The UK is considering making vaccinations compulsory for school children in England in response to falling vaccination rates.
Health secretary Matt Hancock announced the plan to the Conservative party conference following figures showing that all routine vaccinations in England for under 5-year-olds fell last year.
England lost its ‘measle-free’ status this year with 231 reported cases between January and March.
Researcher Stefano Merler at the Bruno Kessler Foundation says countries that have mandated vaccinations such as France, Italy, and Belgium have seen positive effects.
