Italy abolishes requirement for parents to prove children have been vaccinated

Italian state schools will no longer demand parents prove that their children have been vaccinated, the country’s new populist government has announced. Lega leader Matteo Salvini said he considered 10 vaccines - the amount Italian schoolchildren are required by law to have - to not only be useless, but potentially dangerous, in the run-up to the general election in March 2018. The new policy is likely to stoke fears that the coalition government, which also includes the Five Star Movement, may look to legislate other campaign promises which critics argue are not grounded in scientific proof.
