维多利亚州的疫苗接种立法对当今时代的困境有着重要的影响，即如何促进遵守政府认可的科学和医学公共卫生战略，以促进社区的福利，因为公众对这些举措越来越不信任，因为它们可能带来好处，也可能对个人产生负面影响。维多利亚州的经验，处理问题的“良心反对”的政策举措被视为侵入个人道德选择，特别是父母的选择，为儿童，被援引来建议更好的方式来理解目前的阻力采取的MMR疫苗，其更广泛的影响，以及评论媒体的作用。
Victorian vaccination legislation has important echoes for the present age in the dilemma over how to promote compliance with government-endorsed scientific and medical public health strategies for the welfare of the community in a context of growing popular mistrust of such initiatives, in terms of their likelihood to confer benefits as well as their possible negative impacts on individuals. Victorian experience of dealing with the issue of ‘conscientious objection’ to policy initiatives seen as intruding into the area of individual moral choice, especially parental choice for children, is invoked to suggest better ways of comprehending the present resistance to take-up of the MMR vaccine, and its wider implications; as well as commenting on the role of the media.
