CYBERJAYA: Parents who claimed to be exercising their right not to get their children vaccinated are being selfish, said Selangor Health director Datuk Dr Zailan Adnan.

“When all studies show that vaccination can prevent diseases and you (parents) insist you are right, that is wrong,” she said during a press conference after a forum entitled “Vaccination, Is It Really Safe” at the Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences.
