Rising Vaccine Exemption Rates: Understanding the Medical Reasons

The number of vaccine exemptions for U.S. kindergartners has risen to 3% during the 2022-23 school year, with rates exceeding 5% in 10 states. While most exemptions are due to religious or philosophical reasons, some parents seek exemptions for medical reasons, such as allergic reactions or medical conditions that make vaccination unsafe. Pediatricians attribute the rise in exemptions to growing misinformation and a lack of trust in medical institutions. The most commonly refused vaccines are the MMR and HPV vaccines, while seasonal influenza and COVID-19 vaccines have the highest total refusal rates. Children with medical concerns, such as cancer or immunodeficiency, are unable to receive certain vaccines, making herd immunity crucial for their protection.
