Mandatory Measles Vaccination Story

This came up as a five-line hot topic this morning in Germany.

The Health Minister, Jens Spahn....CDU Party, now wants to bring in this bill for mandatory measles vaccinations. 

Who falls under this, if passed?  Children and staff in day-care operations, kindergartens, and schools.  Also, all personnel associated with medical operations.  Also all staff associated with community centers.  Also all of those within asylum centers, refugee shelters, and vacation 'centers'.

How many are not meeting the requirement presently?  Unknown.  That's an odd part of the story told by journalists.  Doctors will give you an estimate but most will admit there is no real solid data to rely upon. 

Reaching into refugee and asylum centers?  That's a curious part of the story, and I would suggest that the bulk of incoming folks don't have this vaccination, and will question the necessity of this. 

Who got left out of this mandatory deal?  The Bundestag.  Yes....the Chancellor and company were left out.
