Does anyone know if Ireland has forced inoculations? If they do then do they have philisophical exemptions?
Al, I was just asking a simple question that did not require a speculative answer. I did not ask for anyone's opinion on my choices. If I had wanted a debate then I would have posted a question asking for opinions. If you don't agree with me that is fine but don't accuse me of neglect or abuse. In my opinion it is irresponsible to know there is a question of safety and not do research to form an opinion of your own instead of just repeating the jargon your fed. If you did do research on both sides and still feel it is safe then fine you are doing what you think is right for your family but don't accuse me of being a bad parent because I don't agree with you.

Vaccination is not mandatory in Ireland, but is strongly advised by the Department of Health and Children
No it does not. Important vaccinations are provided free of charge to all children under 16 but parental consent is required before administering them.
Your philosophical grounds for not vaccinating your child amounts to neglect in my personal opinion.
