Draft Legislation Aims to Streamline Children’s Vaccination Organization

The Estonian Ministry of Social Affairs will present a revised draft of the Infectious Diseases Prevention and Control Act on Thursday. The proposed changes focus on the organization of vaccination for children within the school system. The legislation seeks to simplify the process for administering vaccinations to students.

Currently, parents must provide written consent for their children’s vaccination through the school nurse. Under the proposed amendments, this requirement will be removed. However, the draft maintains the right for parents to refuse vaccination for their children.

Individuals who object to their child receiving vaccinations will still be able to exercise this option. The changes are intended to improve efficiency and reduce administrative burdens associated with managing vaccination records. The revised act will adjust the overall organization of vaccination procedures within schools, ensuring continued protection against preventable diseases.

The Ministry anticipates this update will facilitate smoother vaccination campaigns and align with broader public health strategies. Further details regarding the draft legislation will be available following its presentation on Thursday.
