Annotation: COMAR 10.06.04.03A cited in Davis v. State, 294 Md. 370 (1982), in which the court held that "membership in a recognized religious group cannot be required as a condition of exemption from vaccination". The religious exemption was held to contravene the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and was therefore invalid. The immunization requirement itself was found to be severable and remains in force.
