Measles vaccinations will be made compulsory for German schoolchildren from next year.The Bundestag–Germany's parliament–yesterday passed a law that means parents who do not vaccinate school-age children face fines of up to€2,500(that's about$2763 or£2,140).
从明年开始，德国学生将被强制接种麻疹疫苗。德国联邦议会昨天通过了一项法律，意味着不给学龄儿童接种疫苗的父母将面临高达2500欧元(约合2763美元或2140英镑)的罚款。
The new rules–which come into force in March–will also force parents to prove younger children have been vaccinated before they can attend nurseries or pre-schools.Visits to medical facilities,community centres and holiday camps will also require proof of immunisation.
这项新规定将于3月生效，它还将强制家长证明年幼的孩子在上幼儿园或幼儿园之前接种过疫苗。访问医疗设施、社区中心和度假营也需要有免疫接种证明。
German health minister Jens Spahn described the law as'child protection'and said:'A measles infection is an unnecessary threat in 2019.'
德国卫生部长延斯•斯帕恩(Jens Spahn)将该法称为"儿童保护"，并表示:"2019年麻疹感染是一个不必要的威胁。"
Experts in Britain oppose a similar move–but Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said there is a'strong argument'for compulsory vaccinations.
英国的专家反对类似的举动，但是卫生大臣马特·汉考克说，强制接种疫苗的理由很充分。
