Italy has banned unvaccinated children from returning to public school.
Parents who send their unvaccinated child to school are subject to a 500 euro fine, roughly $565 USD, for putting the health of their peers in jeopardy. The law stipulated that schoolchildren must receive vaccinations for 10 diseases, including chickenpox, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella.
