REVEALED: Pfizer paid $500,000 to two nonprofits that later urged Massachusetts to end religious exemptions for mandatory school vaccines.

Their demand: “remove the non-medical exemption from required school vaccines.”

Health Action Massachusetts is preparing now to continue the fight for parental rights, disability rights, religious exemptions, informed consent, and access to education in Massachusetts.

The relationships we build, the families we educate, the advocates we organize, and the legislative work we do now determine how strong we are when the next session begins.

Help us enter the next legislative session ready. Fund the fight.

Every donation helps ensure we have the resources to keep showing up, speaking out, and protecting Massachusetts families.

Does the New Executive Order Protect Massachusetts’ Religious Exemption?

President Trump’s new Executive Order, “Delivering Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations for Americans,” includes language in Section 4 addressing religious freedom, parental authority, disability accommodations, equal protection, and religious and medical vaccine exemptions.

But does this mean Massachusetts’ religious exemption is now federally protected from being eliminated or restricted?

The short answer: Not automatically.

Section 4 does, however, introduce important federal directives that could become highly relevant if Massachusetts later attempts to eliminate or significantly restrict the exemption.

In this series, we break down what Section 4 actually says, what it does—and does not—do, and what we’ll be watching next.

We are happy to report that Senator Rebecca Rausch’s Amendment 355 — which contained language from her controversial Community Immunity Act — has been withdrawn from the Economic Development bill.

With the guidance of our advocacy team, Health Action Massachusetts helped stop this language from advancing before the bill heads to conference. This amendment posed serious risks to educational access, parental rights, and public health authority.

But the work continues — and we need your help.

If you support this work, please help us retain our lobbyists through August 31.

We are just $990 away from our $10,000 goal.

Clip and audio from a Massachusetts Families for Vaccines video — these are NOT our words.

They claim Massachusetts schools are “falling behind” on safety.

The facts: Kindergarten MMR vaccination rates have remained very stable for the past decade — consistently in the mid-96% range.

Today’s rate of 96.5% is actually slightly higher than 10 years ago.

While religious exemptions have increased modestly (still under 2%), overall vaccination rates have held strong. Massachusetts continues to have one of the highest childhood vaccination rates in the country.

We are NOT falling behind.

Watch how a graph with a truncated y-axis is being used by supporters of removing the religious exemption.

At first glance it looks like a big increase. In reality, Massachusetts religious exemption rates have remained consistently low — around 1% for 15 years — in a state with one of the highest childhood vaccination rates in the nation.

Changing the axis changes the story.
But the real story is this: access to education is on the line for a small group of families who have followed the law.

Some claim it’s a “loophole.”
History tells a different story.

Massachusetts’ religious exemption for school immunizations was not an accident or oversight. It was deliberately enacted by the Legislature in 1967 and broadened in 1971 to ensure it did not discriminate among sincerely held religious beliefs.

For decades, families who have exercised a religious exemption have followed Massachusetts law by properly filing their exemption with their child’s school. These families have complied with the law—they have not exploited a loophole.

Today, that long-standing legal protection is under threat. H.2554 would eliminate the religious exemption for school attendance, ending a protection that has existed in Massachusetts for nearly 60 years.

Health Action Massachusetts is working to protect the religious exemption and ensure lawmakers hear directly from the families who would be affected.

🚨 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE - A WIN FOR PARENTS

We have important news regarding S.1244 - An Act Enhancing Access to Abortion Care.

On July 1, 2026, the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing approved a substantially revised draft of S.1244, which will now move forward as S.3125 – An Act Enhancing Hospital Emergency Services.

The provisions that were the focus of Health Action Massachusetts' opposition are no
longer included in the substitute bill. Specifically, the proposed expansion of Massachusetts' minor consent law to allow qualifying minors to consent to preventive medical care—including vaccinations—without parental involvement, along with the proposed changes to §12F regarding abortion and sterilization, have been removed.

S.3125 is now focused on strengthening enforcement of Massachusetts' hospital emergency services law and has been referred to the Senate Ways and Means Committee for further consideration.

At this time, no further action is needed on S.3125.

To everyone who contacted legislators, shared our posts, submitted testimony, made phone calls, and helped educate others, and to our incredible lobbying team—thank you. Your advocacy helped ensure lawmakers heard from families across the Commonwealth.

💙 If you'd like to express your appreciation, go to https://t.co/Dnf9A3wCin for our Action Center where you can send a one-click thank-you email to the members of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing.
