Abstract
⺠Religion-based objections to vaccination date to circa 1796. ⺠Over 60 vaccine-preventable outbreaks in religious settings have been described. ⺠Ostensibly religious reasons to decline vaccination may mask safety questions. ⺠Acceptability may hinge on transformation, dilution, purpose, and alternatives. ⺠Important reasons to vaccinate include preserving health and duty to community.
