Because of certain posts and information which emerged among the public about penalising the parents due to refusal of child vaccination, the Republic of Srpska Inspectorate informs the public that no change in legal regulations in this area happened.
We remind you that a range of fines for certain offences has been prescribed by the law, but the Inspectorate in each and every case acts according to the law and the conditions of the particular case.  The legal framework that regulates this area did not change and has remained the same as in previous years.

The Republic of Srpska Inspectorate places great hope into healthcare institutions, primarily paediatricians, who have the most important role in communication with parents and explain the importance of vaccination for protecting child’s health and prevention of infective diseases.

We urge the public to ask the competent healthcare institution or experts any questions about immunization, and to pay attention to the facts and standing regulations while trying to interpret individual statements or pieces of information.
