The article presents a medical study examining the nonmedical exemption polices to school immunization requirements in different U.S. states. Exemptors are at a higher risk of acquiring and transmitting disease. According to the article, exemption policies may play an important role for pertussis, which is endemic in the U.S. The study found that there is a connection between states that allow personal belief vaccine exemptions and higher pertussis incidence. The authors suggest that states examine their exemption policies in order to control vaccine-preventable diseases such as pertussis. |
