… to which I'm one.
If you want to debate or question whether or not we should vaccinate the thread to do that is here:

My question is:
Should vaccinations be mandatory in Canada?
Obviously there are medical reasons some people cannot get vaccinated and this must rely on herd mentality.
However, given the universal nature of our healthcare system, should we as a society be on the hook for the negligence of our citizenry? Is it fair to ask the Canadian people to pay for the treatment of a preventable disease?
For our American friends, the question could be phrased as denying health insurance coverage if you or your child is not vaccinated.
Perhaps mandating isn't feisable or appropriate. What about paying for medical services that could have been prevented?
Taking criminal action against parents who don't vaccinate?
