No vaccination, no report cards in Meghalaya

School students who refuse to take the Measles-Rubella vaccination will not receive their annual examination report cards in Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hills district, an official said yesterday.

The directive was issued since many students refused to get vaccinated. Peter S. Dkhar, district magistrate of East Khasi Hills, and also Chairman of the District Task Force for Immunisation, said examination results would be published only after the parents submit in writing the reason why their children would not get vaccinated.
