Parents or guardians in the UAE who fail to ensure their children receive mandatory vaccinations could face fines of up to Dh20,000, under a new draft law approved by the Federal National Council (FNC). The proposal is part of broader efforts to strengthen the country’s legal framework for preventing and controlling infectious diseases, according to reports by Khaleej Times.
During a session held in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, the Federal National Council approved amendments to the UAE’s infectious disease law, a move designed to reinforce the country’s preparedness against communicable diseases and future health threats.
