Childhood vaccines: compulsory by law13 in total

Eleven vaccines became compulsory in 2018. Two meningococcal vaccines were added in January 2025, so children born from 2023 owe thirteen. The same law applies here.

If you skip them: No place in a creche, a preschool or a school. Parents get three months from the start of the school year to begin.

Exemptions: Medical only, and rarely granted.
