MS Vaccination laws??

[Amanda589]

What are the laws on vaccinating in MS? and are there vax friendly docs in hattiesburg area that are recommended?

Hi! Welcome to MDC. I'm new to MS myself, but know a little bit about the vaxing situation. It's not legally required unless you want to send your kids to public school or daycare, in which case you have to do it. MS and WV are the only states in the nation with no exemption--religious or philosophical--so there's no way out of it, except to homeschool. :(

I'm in Oxford, so I can't help you with a Hattiesburg doctor, but hope you'll get some recommendations.

I will pm you as well.

There is a group that meets in h-burg trying to inform people about vaccines and the laws and trying to get an exemption. Here's a link to join the online community (open to anyone)
