Many childhood diseases can now be prevented through the use of vaccines. Should parents be made by law to immunise their children against common diseases or should individuals have the right to choose not to immunise their children?

Medical science has advanced exponentially in the

last

century.

This

has resulted in vaccines being able to prevent many diseases that happen during

childhood

. But, there is a debate regarding whether it should be made legally mandatory for parents to complete all
