Must adolescence vaccination be obligatory? In line with a brand new pole, about 70% Canadians suppose so
Measles cases are growing throughout Canada, so it cannot be surprising that about 70 percent of Canadians recently surveyed that childhood vaccines should be mandatory.
The angus read institute Involved in survey About 1,700 Canadian adults online between May 20 and May. 23, asking them whether children should be required to evidence of vaccination to participate in decare or schools.
Twenty-nine percent said that yes-last years growth, when only 55 percent of the respondents agreed that vaccination should be mandatory for children.
Maxwell Smith, a bioathist and associate professor at Western University’s School of Health Studies, says that it is not as divisible to make childhood vaccination mandatory as it was once thought.
He said, “Looking at what we have experienced with Kovid and controversies around the vaccine mandate, I think that is why the figure is quite striking,” he said.
Canada is in the middle of the worst measles outbreak as the virus was finished back in 1998. Ontario remains the heart of outbreak: Public Health Ontario said that 1,938 people have become ill with measles so far in 2025.
Smith says that those numbers may have changed the minds of people.

Asked if the government should reconsider this policy as measles burns through a pocket without any community, Premier Doug Ford said that they cannot vaccinate their children to parents.
“How do you force someone? Do you catch their baby and start naping them with a needle?” He told reporters earlier this month.
Angus Reid Pol also asked the respondents how confident they were that their provincial governments could handle a measles outbreak. It was found that 27 percent of the surveyed in Ontario said that they did not believe at all.
The respondents in Alberta had even less confidence: 37 percent of the respondents said that they had no confidence in the ability of their province to respond to the outbreak of measles – even in the case continue to climb in that province. So far this year, 628 Albertons have been diagnosed by measles.
The survey voted people in only 10 provinces and did not cover Nanavut, Northwest Territories or Yukon.
Online surveys cannot be given a margin of error as they do not randomly take a sample of the population, but a random sample of the Angus Reed Pol size will receive a margin of an error of +/- 2 percent marks, 19 out of 20.
There are early signs that can spread to parts of Canada – one of the most infectious but prevented diseases in the world. The way Andrew Chang attacked the virus body and makes it so contagious.
