An Italian politician and leading anti-vaxxer has been hospitalised after contracting chickenpox.
Massimiliano Fedriga, a member of the right-wing Northern League party and president of the Friuli-Venezia Giuli region, had argued against the Lorenzin decree which has made vaccination compulsory in Italy.
Fedriga spent four days being treated for the disease, which can be deadly in adults.
He said although his children were vaccinated, it should not be forced on people, reports La Vanguardia.
He also claimed to make vaccinations mandatory would not convince anti-vaxxers to have their shots.
Prominent microbiologist Robert Burioni wrote on his website that had Fedriga been vaccinated, he would be in perfect health.
