We all know that this subject sparks a lot of discussions and divided opinions in each country. In Poland vaccinations (szczepionki<\/strong>) included in the immunization schedule are mandatory. This means that every child residing in Poland can receive vaccines refunded by the state, but it also means that parents are obliged to show up on vaccination visits. Refusal to vaccinate usually means triggering an administrative procedure, which typically involves a monetary fine.<\/p>\n

Mandatory vaccinations (obowi\u0105zkowe szczepionki<\/strong>) are set by Polish law and pertain to all children which are residing in Poland for longer than 3 months. Soon after the birth of a child, parents are given a national immunisation card which is held by the family doctor. The doctor is responsible for checking that their patients have had the necessary vaccines.<\/p>\n

Despite a period of great change, childhood vaccination rates have remained high.\u00a0In recent years, an increasing number of parents have challenged this legal requirement and refused or delayed vaccination against certain diseases.<\/p>\n
