Vaccinations

[Pauline]

I've been told that in France that if your child isn't vaccinated then you can get a certificate from your Doctor to say your child is healthy for them to gain entry into school.

Does anyone know anymore about this?

I wouldn't have thought so. Even at Lyce you still have to provide details every year of all vaccinations with dates and boosters. From reading postings of newly arrived in France it seems most primary schools require proof of the actual vaccinations especially TB.

The following list is how it works here. There was a law that was proposed last year that may take account of consicencious objectors, but as far as I know it has not been passed yet.
