Mr Drakeford spoke out after 15-year-old Grace Baker-Earle and her mother were surrounded by a group of anti-vaxxers outside a Cardiff clinic on Saturday.

Speaking on the BBC Radio Wales Sunday Supplement show Mr Drakeford said: "People are entitled to protest, people are entitled to express their view. They're not entitled to do it in a way that intimidates others.
"When you're talking about harassment, it's not what the person who is making the protests thinks about it, it's the impact that has on the individual. Very clearly in this case, that young woman felt intimidated."
The vaccine has been offered to 12 to 15-year-olds in Wales since 4 October.
A number of parents at the Bayside centre said they felt shaken up by what happened with the protests there.
The BBC reports Angela, Grace's mum, from Cowbridge, in the Vale Glamorgan, describing how 15 protesters walked in front of her car and she had to tell one man to "step back".
"He was within two feet of me, looked at me as if I was stupid. I told them: 'You have literally surrounded my car'."

Melissa Ringman, 42, from Barry, who was there with her 15-year-old daughter, told the BBC: "He got into my daughter's personal space and started shouting at her. I said: 'Stop, please don't speak to her like that.' I also raised my hand out to say stop.
"It was very upsetting to see how upset my daughter was, she didn't have to witness that. I didn't feel safe walking in there yesterday. As we walked out, we had one woman screaming at us: 'Shame on you - you're killing your daughter'."
