Mississippi school systems have started to mandate certain vaccinations for a child to attend school. The only exemption to this law will be a medical reason, like an allergy.

- A.
  
  Agree! Compared to other states, Mississippi hasn't had outbreaks of disease recently due to strict vaccination laws and strong public healthcare programs!
