thewayneYou can still get medical exemptions for extreme cases, but legally, religious exemptions are no more. The law that was shot down would have allowed private and parochial schools to set their own standards for what qualified as an exemption.
With this law being shot down, there are now five states that do not allow religious exemptions for vaccinations.

Meanwhile, in Kansas, they now have ten confirmed cases with others under observation. In all cases, the children - ranging from birth to 17 years old - were un-vaccinated or under-vaccinated, having had one of the two doses required. The cases span three counties and are the first measles cases in the last seven years. The three counties are all in the southwest corner of the state, closest to where the outbreak in Texas is taking place.
Currently, the Kansas cases have not required hospitalization and the only fatalities have been the one child in Texas, aged 4, and the adult in New Mexico.

I don't have a link handy, but the parents of the child who died of measle: they remain anti-vax because 'their four other children haven't caught measles'. Play lethal games, win lethal prizes. So they're happy their 4 y/o child has 'gone to the lord'? *SMH* Okay, whatevs. I wonder what the 4 y/o thought about it while she was dying.
