Since the beginning of the school year, the risk of mass infection spreads significantly, "the situation in the Ministry of Health.

Recall, the Ministry of Health has no right to force parents to vaccinate children. Any vaccination is possible only with the written consent of the parents, and only after the doctors explained all the pros and cons of vaccination, including complications from vaccination.

Such a sensation the Ministry of Health raised repeatedly. At the same time, parents in courts won cases against directors of schools and kindergartens, who did not allow unvaccinated children to study, t. people without vaccinations are not allowed to stay only in those collectives where they must arrive round the clock: children's health camps, sanatoria, the army.

According to the Ministry of Health, at the beginning of September in Ukraine recorded 1627 cases of measles. Most of all - in Ivano-Frankivsk (747), Odessa (589) and Ternopil (70) regions. In the Odessa region, two children died.
