Salvini insists obligatory vaccinations for children are “useless” and “dangerous”


Italy’s far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said last Friday that the policy of obligatory vaccinations for children prior to going to school is “useless” and in many cases “dangerous.”

Salvini announced that he will be reviewing legislation, allowing children in nurseries to avoid the 10 obligatory vaccines, giving parents a choice.

Italian law currently does not allow children to progress from nurseries to public schools without undertaking the 10 vaccinations regime. Vaccinations cover diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox. The law was introduced by the former Democratic Party Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin, and has become a rallying point for the 5-Star Movement (M5S.

Italy’s top immunologist Roberto Burioni Tweeted that the Interior Minister’s assertion is a “dangerous lie” and the ten vaccines regime is “neither useless nor harmful.”

The European Health Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis said Friday that vaccines are one of the issues he will be discussing in his meeting with the new Italian Minister of Health, Giulia Grillo. Grillo is a member of the Five-Star Movement (MS5) but has no family relation to the former leader Beppe Grillo. Moreover, unlike many in her movement, Giulia Grillo believes vaccines are necessary.

The MS5 championed a movement against obligatory vaccinations, with Beppe Grillo personally linking obligatory jabs to autism. Scrapping obligatory vaccines has been the party’s official policy since 2015. As a result, the Italian population has seen a reduction in immunization, which is now below 95% of the population.

The World Health Organization says a population requires 95% coverage to be protected against measles; Italy is the only EU member state along with Romania to experience a recent outbreak of measles.

Italy Senate overturns mandatory vaccination law


Anti-establishment coalition sceptical of inoculations despite rise in measles cases
A law compelling children enrolling at state schools to have 10 vaccinations has been removed Bloomberg


Italy’s upper house of parliament has voted through legislation from the ruling anti-establishment government to remove the legal obligation to vaccinate schoolchildren.


A law compelling children to have 10 vaccinations in order to enrol at state schools came into effect in March, after a surge in the number of measles cases. But the Five Star Movement and the League, which formed a ruling coalition two months ago, pledged to scrap the vaccination obligation during the run-up to elections in March, courting the so-called “anti-vax” vote.


The new legislation puts Italy out of step with other European countries such as France and Germany, which have been bolstering vaccine regulation. Critics say the government is eroding faith in science and nine Italian regional administrations that oppose the repeal have said they intend to appeal to the constitutional court or bring in their own laws to reinstate compulsory vaccines.

Last year Italy had 5,000 cases of measles, up from 870 in 2016. It had 29 per cent of all cases in the EU or European Economic Area in the year to June 2018.

Five Star has longstanding links to anti-vaccination campaigners. Giulia Grillo, the party’s health minister, says she supports vaccination but says current rules are too restrictive. Matteo Salvini, leader of the League, has said that having ten compulsory vaccines is “useless and sometimes dangerous”.


The amendment, passed by 148 to 110 votes, will not become law in time for the new school year as it still needs to pass the lower house after the parliamentary recess. If passed then it will postpone the obligation for parents to vaccinate children until the start of the next school year in 2019, but before then the coalition government intends to bring forward new legislation enshrining freedom of choice.


Filippo Anelli, president of the federation of surgeons and orthodontists, said parliament “should respect science” while Antonio Saitta, health director for the Piedmont region and health co-ordinator for the federation of regions, said the vote risked taking “a step backwards” on a major public health issue.

“Vaccines are not a bureaucratic imposition but the best method of prevention. They allow us to reduce serious and lethal diseases, and even eliminate them,” he said.

While the legislation is pending, parents will no longer have to provide schools with a doctor’s note to show their children have been vaccinated. The move has raised alarm among health experts who fear that compliance with vaccines will drop.

Davide Faraone, of the Democractic party, said the measures left Italy as “a kind of Wild West in which the health of children will be left completely to the family”.

Shocking. #Serbia has the highest rate of #measles in Europe https://t.co/VYI5UPAn63 Sadly, though perhaps unsurprisingly, conspiracy theorising and media sensationalism over vaccination seems to be to blame https://t.co/MDbKEsL0vE pic.twitter.com/R7HDLy4o67

The main reason for failure in MMR vaccination in Serbia are CONSTANT and REGULAR shortages of vaccines and the reform of the primary health care that introduced unsustainable procedures. Forget the media reports. Read the reports of the Institute of Public Health of Serbia.

Poslanica Stamenković je postavila pitanje i zašto stručna javnost argumentovano ne odgovara na navode o efikasnosti i bezbednosti vakcina koje pripadnici antivakcinalnog lobija iznova postavljaju. Ukoliko ova pitanja ostanu bez argumentovanih odgovora, postoji opasnost da veći broj roditelja poljulja svoje poverenje u imunizacionu praksu, a posledice po zdravlje dece su ogromne.
