Mandatory 6 vaccination 7: 强制疫苗
To be vaccinated 8: 已经接种疫苗
在美国，疫苗不仅是公共卫生问题，也是宗教信仰、政治倾向之争

Opponents: 反对者
Measles: 麻疹
Potential harm: 潜在的危害
Parents' right: 父母的权力
美国强制接种吗？
Different states, different laws 不同州，不同立法
The differences stem from varying laws over when exemptions 10 are allowed.
48 states and the District of Columbia allow religious exemptions from vaccines.
20 states allow philosophical 11 exemptions.
美国48个州提供基于宗教原因的疫苗豁免权
20个州提供基于哲学思想原因的疫苗豁免权
美国父母可以基于这些原因，申请不给孩子打疫苗。得到豁免后，孩子不接种也可以入学。
由于选择不给孩子接种疫苗父母比例的上升，也引发了一些曾被疫苗杜绝疾病的爆发；例如去年加州的麻疹爆发(measles outbreak)。
