Can parents refuse vaccines in India?

[Guest guest]

Dear Prabha,

 

Please tell me what would happen to a parent who refused to vaccinate her child in your country. Are you viewed as owned by the government with vaccinations given to preserve the health of the herd? You have no informed consent? We have it here in the USA but

it is often ignored or the doctors lie. Often the threat of taking your child from you is made if you won't vaccinate them.

Dear Joyce,

 

Please give me details of this product NDF.

 

Question is which create/accept the damage and then struggle to rectify it?

 

I am working on this issue, with Pulse Polio programme as example looking to do a Public Interest Litigation, demanding the Right to Informed Consent. I also do a slide show called How Can I Catch Polio to raise awareness.

 

I agree that personal anger if not channelised will lead to further damage, but Jag is really transcending his pain by being of service to all.

I can feel your pain as a victim of vaccines myself, and I applaud you for trying to do something about it. However, I will tell you that personal anger will only make you more ill and retard your recovery.
