The anti-vaccination crowd was incensed at the possibility, however, and were soon taking to social media to express their displeasure.  At times, this angst was accompanied by dubious information regarding the safety of such vaccinations.

Australia has already implemented mandatory vaccinations for children looking to participate in community and school sports programs, lending a precedent to the government’s ability to enforce such an ordinance.
