Compulsory jabs rejected

 
DOCTORS’ leaders meeting today for their annual conference have rejected the idea of forcing parents to immunise their children.

In a report on childhood immunisation, the British Medical Association (BMA) said compulsory vaccination would destroy trust and openness between parents and doctors.

The paper also says the BMA believes the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) jab is the safest way to protect children, despite claims of a link to autism and bowel disease.
