Loading ...Breaking News: American Medical Assoc. (AMA) Announces New Mandatory Vaccine Policy
Newsweek (June 9, 2015)
The American Medical Association (AMA), one of the largest and most influential associations of medical doctors in the country, today endorsed putting an end to religious exemptions to immunization requirements.
“Under new policy, the AMA will seek more stringent state immunization requirements to allow exemptions only for medical reasons,” the organization said in a press release.
The AMA issued recommendations to state health departments and physicians designed to banish non-medical exemptions from the landscape of American medicine.
