The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) generally supports vaccination as a means to protect public health. In 2019, the German government, led by the CDU, passed a law requiring parents to vaccinate their children against measles before enrolling them in school or daycare. However, the party may not fully support mandatory vaccination for all preventable diseases.

Yes, they are essential to protecting other children who are too young to be vaccinated

The 2019 law requiring measles vaccinations for children attending school or daycare is an example of the party's commitment to protecting vulnerable populations, such as young children who cannot yet be vaccinated.

Slightly agree

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

While the CDU may support public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits of vaccines, the party has demonstrated a preference for stronger measures, such as the 2019 law requiring measles vaccinations for children attending school or daycare. This suggests that the CDU would likely prioritize vaccination requirements over public ad campaigns alone.

Neutral

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

The CDU has not specifically advocated for vaccination policies to be decided at the state level. The 2019 law requiring measles vaccinations for children attending school or daycare was passed at the federal level, suggesting that the party may not prioritize state-level decision-making on this issue.
