Denying vaccination to their children has landed some parents in the dock in Bahrain.
The Public Prosecution, in a statement, said the parents are facing trial for failing to adhere to rules regarding the National Vaccination Campaign.
The actions followed, the statement said, after several attempts to correct the violating parents through local health clinics. The Public Prosecution said they summoned parents to warn them of the gravity of the situation and the consequence of their actions.
“However, they didn’t make any effort, except for two parents who took their children for vaccination,” the statement explained. The statement also warned ‘strong’ actions against violators, calling on parents to adhere to the programme for the safety of their children and avoid legal actions.
The Prosecution states that children in Bahrain receive vaccination through the national vaccination campaign against diseases, including Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, Poliomyelitis, Chickenpox, combined tetralogy of Meningitis, Measles, Mumps, Tetanus, and Whooping cough.
