💉 Childhood vaccines: Recommended, never required

Russia writes the right to refuse into the law, and the right to exclude during an epidemic right next to it.

If you skip them: Nothing routine. During an outbreak an unvaccinated child can be kept out of school or nursery.

Exemptions: A written refusal is a right under federal law 157-FZ.
