Some states allow: Vaccine refusal is permitted in many states for those with specific established & written religious doctrine. Other states may permit individual belief exceptions. But be aware, the present wave of vaccine refusal across the country has resulted in an increase in infection and preventable deaths in infants.The increase in pertussis alone has gone from 2500 to ~15, 000 with >50 preventable deaths/y.

You can in most: States. But why? To put your children at risk of dying from preventable diseases? Would you serve raw chicken? Would you let your child play on the side of a highway with a blindfold on? Vaccines prevent children and adults from dying with little down side. Do not put your child at risk!
