Two sets of parents in Belgium who refused to have their children
vaccinated against polio, which is compulsory under Belgian law, were
convicted earlier this month. Each parent was fined 5500 (£4100; $8000) and
sentenced to five months in prison.
In an interview with the BMJ the presiding judge, Bart Meganck of the Court
of First Instance in the Flemish city of Dendermonde, said that the parents
failed to appear for the 4 February court date. He therefore convicted them
on the basis of police reports. He suspended the prison sentences pending
whether or not the children receive polio vaccinations.
Asked what would happen if the parents still refuse, Judge Meganck said: "I
don't think that will happen." He explained that if they fail to obey the
court then that would be a "new crime" and they would receive a new summons
to appear in court.
