A member of Matteo Salvini’s League is seeking to curtail mandatory vaccinations for children as the party steps up its populist drive following last month’s European Union vote.
A senator for the Italian party recently presented an amendment which, if approved, would end the requirement for children under 16 to get shots against diseases including measles, mumps, chickenpox and rubella.
