Mississippi has begun the process of allowing Religious Exemptions for childhood vaccinations, as ordered by a US District Judge. The state has previously been praised for its high rates of childhood vaccination against diseases such as polio, measles, and mumps. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by parents who argued that the lack of a religious exemption violated the US Constitution. The Mississippi State Department of Health will publish information on how to seek religious exemptions, and the process will not question the sincerity of a person's religious beliefs.
