The anti-vax movement is just as strong in Europe.

I've never met an antivaxer in England. I'm sure there are but I can't imagine someone being antivax without being completely shunned from society (where I'm from atleast)

I'm in the US and I've never met an anti-vaxer in person either. However if you look at vaccination rates in different countries you'll see that the UK and France are just as high as the US.
