Whether or not to consent to a medical procedure including the administration of a vaccine should be an individual right. The Institute of Medicine has declared that “vaccines are unavoidably unsafe” for some people. It is therefore very important for each individual to weigh the true risks and benefits of each vaccine before consenting to or declining vaccination.

Maryland’s religious exemption law upholds the individual right to decline vaccination for oneself or one’s children. We cannot take this right for granted however. We have had to fight to uphold our religious exemption in past legislative sessions and the right has recently been taken away in other states, so the threat persists.
