Did you know: A Law for Compulsory Immunization
Did you know that in the Philippine Constitution, there’s actually a law that compels all the people to an immunization procedure?
Presidential Decree No. 996, Sec. 2 provides for compulsory basic immunization for infants and children below eight years of age. The basic immunization services shall include: (a) BCG Vaccination against tuberculosis; (b) Inoculation against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis; (c) Oral poliomyelitis immunization; (d) Protection against measles; (e) Immunization against rubella; and (f) such other basic immunization services for infants and children below eight yeas of age which the Council for the Welfare of Children may recommend to the Secretary of Health. – Medical Jurisprudence, Solis.
Any violation or refusal to submit to vaccination is punishable by law through imprisonment or by means of a fine.
Apparently, only few people knows the existence of this law or if they know tends to disregard it because of its weak implementation.

although, with the recent concerns about thimerosal content in vaccines, people do still have reason to be wary. *sigh*
