Exploring legal liability for parents of unvaccinated children
Posted By Maroto & Associates on July 18, 2009
The current issue of First Impressions, the online companion to the Michigan Law Review, is titled “Liability for Exercising Personal Belief Exemptions from Vaccination.” The issue consists of six commentaries from physicians, lawyers, public health scholars, and ethicists writing on the following topic:
“With the increased risk that the use of personal belief exemptions will limit the effectiveness of vaccination, this symposium addresses whether parents who refuse to vaccinate their children should be liable in tort to individuals who are infected and injured by the unvaccinated children.”
