- astura 5y agoSome states (including big ones like California and NY and conservative ones like Mississippi and West Virginia) have no exemptions to school vaccine requirements other than medical exemptions. https://www.ncsl.org/research/health/school-immunization-exemption-state-laws.aspx https://www.ncsl.org/research/health/school-immunization-exe...
- khuey 5y agoCalifornia used to have more exemptions and they were used heavily by new age/hippie types (i.e. not conservatives) to skirt vaccination requirements so the laws were changed recently.
- BackBlast 5y agoSince the change there have been a number of doctors willing to grant medical exemptions to any who want them. [0] It isn't as much of an impediment as it appears.

- frumper 5y agoThe article you linked talks about a new law that invalidated those exemptions from that doctor because they were not supported by clinical guidelines.
- BackBlast 5y agoIt's just an example. There are lots more doctors who will give exemptions just to make parents happy. There is clearly friction between parents/doctors/state over this policy.
- frumper 5y agoIt's an example that you provided a source that says the exact opposite of your example. In California there is a new law designed to specifically combat your example and it's been quite effective.
