No Jab No Play comes into effect today in South Australia: What does this mean for your kids?
The South Australian Government's No Jab No Play laws come into effect today, with children up to the age of six who have not been fully immunised now unable to attend early childcare services.
Key points:
Unvaccinated children won't be accepted to day care or pre-school from today
COVID-19 has shone a light on the value of available vaccinations for other diseases
Anti-vaxxers have launched legal action in attempts to stop the laws
The law attempts to ensure children and the people they encounter are protected against preventable diseases.
"Families should be able to send their child to an early childhood service, confident that it's as safe as it can be," Health Minister Stephen Wade said.
In Australia, the vaccination schedule starts from the time a child is born and continues until they are four.
The director of the State Government's Communicable Disease Control Branch said she was confident that in that time children could be immunised against most preventable diseases.
