[post_page_title]Some Amish choose not to vaccinate[/post_page_title]
This is something of an inflammatory subject, even within the general American population, but it doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be discussed. To start, there are no explicit rules in any Amish sect’s Ordnung prohibiting vaccinations. Despite this fact, Amish groups have traditionally declined immunizations, leading to multiple disease outbreaks.
A 2014 measles epidemic in Ohio, for example, could be traced to two Amishmen. The grounds for Amish objections, again, aren’t religious, but stem from distrust of vaccinations’ safety and a lack of understanding as to their benefits. In recent years, however, Amish vaccination rates are on the rise.
