Grzegorz Płaczek wrote that the Ministry of Health planned to introduce mandatory HPV vaccinations for children in Poland starting from 2027, despite opposition. He stated that on September 30, 2026, the Commission for the Codification of Criminal Law proposed raising the maximum fine for evading mandatory vaccinations from 1500 to 9000 PLN. Płaczek also indicated that governors could impose administrative fines on parents of up to 10,000 PLN at once and up to 50,000 PLN in total, regardless of any misdemeanor proceedings. According to him, the money could be deducted from accounts before the dispute with the state is resolved, and proceedings in administrative courts could last four years or longer. The author claimed that a similar system would apply to HPV vaccinations. He wrote that outside of North Macedonia, they are only recommended worldwide, and prevention should be based on information and informed decisions made by parents, not on financial sanctions. He advocated for the voluntary nature of HPV vaccinations and criticized the actions of the state. #szczepienia #zdrowie #prawo (translated)

Sąd wezwał mnie na świadka w kuriozalnej sprawie o rozwiązanie Polskiego Stowarzyszenia Niezależnych Lekarzy i Naukowców Za rozwiązaniem wnioskuje Prezydent @trzaskowski_ i @RzeczPacjenta Powód? „Propagowanie postaw antyzdrowotnych” oraz "rozpowszechnianie treści medycznych niezgodnych z aktualną wiedzą medyczną". Chodzi przede wszystkim o kwestionowanie bezpieczeństwa i skuteczności szczepień (m. in. przeciw COVID-19, HPV i obowiązkowych szczepień dziecięcych) To tyle, jeśli chodzi o wolność słowa w Polsce Nie da się inicjować ani wspierać takich inicjatyw, a jednocześnie uważać się za kogoś, kto szanuje wartości demokratyczne #WolnośćSłowa #Szczepienia #Demokracja

Cette enquête donne la parole aux parents : ce qui les fait accepter, ce qui les freine, par qui ils ont été informés. Elle suggère que l’école informe bien sur la campagne, mais pèse peu dans la décision, qui passe surtout par le conseil d’un soignant. Pour qui anime des actions auprès de familles, d’élèves ou d’équipes éducatives, elle aide à cibler les messages (sécurité, efficacité, prévention des cancers) et à repérer les publics absents de l’enquête : familles peu diplômées, non francophones, éloignées du numérique. 🇬🇧: School vaccination campaign against the papillomavirus: parental perceptions and determinants of adherence - https://www.pratiquesensante.com/en/blog/practices-15/campagne-de-vaccination-scolaire-contre-le-papillomavirus-perceptions-parentales-et-determinants-de-l-adhesion-6220 #️⃣ #pratiquesensante #VaccinationHPV #Papillomavirus #PréventionDesCancers #SantéScolaire #HésitationVaccinale #PromotionDeLaSanté #Parentalité
