Do you want the right to know if the children at the daycare are vaccinated?

In the past, many children in the Netherlands died from infectious diseases that can now be vaccinated against. Nearly all children are vaccinated, which is why these diseases hardly occur anymore. source )

Nevertheless, the RIVM reports a percentage decrease in the number of vaccinations for two consecutive years. In an  het RIVM twee jaar op rij een percentuele daling van het aantal inentingen. In een opinion piece in Trouw, Hanna ten Brink writes that this is partly because more and more highly educated parents conclude after a few evenings of searching the internet that vaccines are not safe. She advocates for daycare centers to refuse unvaccinated children. In 2014, an eight-month-old boy ended up in the hospital with severe pneumonia because he was infected with measles by a child who was deliberately not vaccinated. The child barely survived, she writes.

Parliamentary majority for information obligation
The AD writes that there is a parliamentary majority for an information obligation that gives parents the opportunity to find out how many children at the daycare are vaccinated and thus know if their child is at risk. There is still debate on how this information obligation should be implemented.

Government campaign to promote vaccination
The government wants to invest 2 million in a campaign to alleviate concerns about vaccinations because it believes the seriousness of childhood diseases is fading from view as they no longer occur frequently. Wild rumors also circulate about the harmful effects of vaccinations, such as the claim that it can cause autism. A claim that was once spread by a fraudulent scientist. source )

Opponents of the vaccination program
There seem to be more and more people concerned about vaccinations, such as the three parents who spoke in an episode of Pauw . One of them even speaks on Vaccinvrij.nl about a cover-up by the National Vaccination Program regarding how it handles reports of serious side effects.
