Jailed for not vaccinating children
Published: 20 June 2008
Parents in Belgium who failed to have their children vaccinated against polio have been convicted, fined and sentenced to five months in prison. Polio vaccination is compulsory in Belgium and although the parents failed to appear in court, they were convicted on police reports. The prison sentences were suspended pending vaccination of the children.
