Childhood vaccines: compulsory by law

Childhood vaccination is required by national law here. We have the rule and the penalty, not the official count of how many vaccines the law covers.

If you skip them: Nothing in practice. The law says you must, and names no penalty.

Exemptions: The law names none.
