SUMMARY: Starting Monday, religious exemptions for vaccines will be allowed in Mississippi. Doctors are expressing concern over this new executive order, stating that it is disturbing and dangerous. To obtain a religious exemption, a parent or guardian must schedule an appointment at a county health department and submit the exemption form. The state epidemiologist will then review and approve the exemptions. The state health officer supports the former school vaccination law that has protected children for over 40 years. Mississippi previously had a religious exemption for childhood vaccinations, but it was overturned in 1979. Under the new process, officials cannot question the sincerity of a person’s religious beliefs.

Taking over from Dr. Mlan, who retired after coordinating the campaign for several years, Davis aims to ensure that the nearly 500 children in need receive gifts this Christmas. The drive seeks new, unwrapped toys for infants up to 12 years old, and various drop-off locations are available, including Busy Lad, Dollar Tree, and Weared Well. The deadline for donations is December 15, but toys will still be accepted afterward. Davis hopes to exceed the target of 500 toys.
