Under the proposal, parents or guardians who refuse or neglect mandatory vaccinations could face fines ranging from Dh5,000 to Dh20,000.
The vaccination programme protects children from several infectious diseases and vaccines will continue to be provided free for newborns and targeted groups.
Authorities may also require vaccinations during health emergencies to prevent disease outbreaks and strengthen public health protection.
