Non-vaxers in UK? (X-posted)

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Anyone out there who lives in the UK and doesn't vax? What exactly are my legal rights as a parent? I've been looking and looking, but haven't come up with anything concrete yet. I assume as a parent I have the right to refuse vaxes on my child's behalf - but then can they force them on us? Or threaten to take the kids away?

How easy/difficult did you find it to refuse vaxes? Any tips for dealing with the system? TIA

We have been in the UK for two years and have not had any problems as non-vaxers. We homeschool so I can't say for sure, but I do not think that any vaxes are mandatory for school attendance here.
When we registered with our Health Centre they sent us a letter stating that a couple of my kids were due for shots. I just called them and told them that we had chosen not to do any. They put it in our record and I have not heard anything from them since. I have even taken two kids to the ER and they did not even ask about vax status.

You can find more infos on jabs.org.uk

local non-vax parents groups at arnica.org.uk

Both sources have extensive link collections.
