Since 1976, a law makes vaccination compulsory. For children, the Children and Adolescence Act (CEA) strengthens family responsibility to keep the book up to date. According to the World Health Organization, vaccination is one of the most effective and cost-effective ways of reducing child mortality. However, the anti-immunization movements and the sense of security have defeated decades of progress. In the Federal District, vaccination coverage has been reduced, but there is no record of punishment.
According to the Health Secretariat, the coverage of MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine has decreased since 2014. That year, DF achieved 98% coverage, but never reached the end of the year. 95% goal. Polio vaccination, in turn, has fluctuated since this year.
"This makes us an area of risk for the resurgence of diseases that have not appeared before," said Renata Brandão, who is responsible for monitoring immunopressible diseases and the transmission of water and food.

To turn the tide, she says that vaccination campaigns are strengthened and that there is even a search for missing persons through the family health program, it is not possible to badociate numbers with anti-virus movements because no study can solve the problem. "Young people did not live with the diseases and the safety situation that vaccines provided over the years may be one of the factors of poor adherence and low immunization coverage," says the professional
] Polyanna Dias states that Section 429 of the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA) provides for a fine of up to 20 times the minimum wage for parents or guardians who violate the law. Article 14 contains the obligation to vaccinate the child as a duty inherent in family power. Administrative punishment is the responsibility. However, there is no news of the application of the standard in the capital.
Anyone can file a complaint. In MPDFT, the prosecutor must inform officials to provide clarifications. "They have to come with a vaccination card and they are told to explain what happened.Then, if we understand that there was negligence, we can apply the fine The measure can also be taken by the Trusteeship Council
"Vaccination is compulsory in Brazil. Despite their own convictions, we must respect the laws, "explains Polyanna Dias. Only the lack of punctuality of vaccination is not enough to remove custody which, according to the prosecutor, is extremely negligent.
The Public Prosecutor's Office of Rio Grande do Sul has broadcast a video to alert parents and guardians about the importance of vaccination and the possible legal consequences for those who neglect vaccination recommendations. In the video, they warn that steps are being taken to hold parents accountable for administrative fines or even loss of custody.

"We believe that vaccinations alone are responsible for increasing the average lifespan of the population.Vaccination protects the individual and the community. vaccination rates were high, even those who did not take it are protected because there is no disease in circulation, "says Guido Levi, a doctor of the Board of the Brazilian Vaccination Society ( SBIM)
Pertussis had to be included in the schedule of pregnant women to protect the child because there was an increase in deaths in the first year.Mole and poliomyelitis became again

Who are the members of the anti-virus movement
The immunologist Guido Levi explains that the movement antivacin can be divided into two categories. The first is when the decision is made by the individual himself or by his parents or guardians, who carry philosophical and religious motives, fear of adverse consequences and even by medical indication.
"Today, there is a flood of information about the risks and consequences of vaccination." About 75% of sites that talk about vaccines are against vaccination, he says.
The other category concerns health professionals who contraindicate vaccination. There are these radicals against any type of vaccine to those who believe that it is necessary to postpone the start of the vaccination. "Disintegration, neglect and ignorance are also factors and it's not as rare as one would like," he says.

"Vaccination is something that has worked so well.Many travel abroad, we receive so many strangers.With the creation of such movements (antivacin), and with the low adherence of people who believe in this system, the diseases come back.It must be treated and vaccinated, "said researcher in accounting, Patrícia Carvalho, 39.
She is in favor of vaccination and care with the girl, Sophia, and tells that it is inspired by the mother who always took it to take the doses. "I've never had anything. If my daughter is not immune, she can catch the disease, "she thinks.
Despite movements that restrict vaccination initiatives, there are those who believe in efficiency and criticize the contrary movements. "The end of the world is coming," says Rita Maria Assunção, housewife. For her, a vaccine could have prevented her youngest grandchild from catching the flu.
