Religious and philosophical vaccine waivers end Sept. 1

by Jayna Smith

When Maine students return to public schools this fall, all will be required to have their required vaccines, unless they have a medical exemption.

“Religious or philosophical” exemptions to refuse the required vaccines will no longer be honored.  All of the required vaccines have been required “for years,” according to Chief Health Improvement Officer for Maine Health Dr. Dora Mills.  “These are not new vaccines at all.”
