The National Assembly passed a bill last night to raise the vaccination rate in Slovenia.
It passed changes to the Communicable Diseases Act, making vaccination for measles, mumps and rubella mandatory for all children attending public kindegartens. According to the new rules, candidates for secondary schools and faculties teaching medicine, health care, social care or education, will also have to be vaccinated. Meanwhile the proposal to put into law compulsory vaccination against the flu for all health workers has been dropped.
