CDU/CSU Union Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The CDU/CSU Union generally supports vaccination as a means to protect public health. In 2019, the German parliament passed a law, supported by the CDU/CSU, requiring mandatory measles vaccinations for children attending school or kindergarten. However, this law does not cover all preventable diseases, so the score is not a full 5.

Slightly agree

No, fund public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits instead

While the CDU/CSU Union may support public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits of vaccinations, their support for the mandatory measles vaccination law indicates that they believe in stronger measures to ensure public health.

Slightly disagree

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

The mandatory measles vaccination law was passed at the federal level, indicating that the CDU/CSU Union believes in a nationwide approach to vaccination requirements. However, the score is not lower because the party may still support some level of state decision-making in other areas of public health.
