Those who couldn't afford them were easily resolved by referring them to the county health department where provisions were in place for them to receive their vaccinations; the personal religious belief issue(s) were much more problematic to deal with.

From my experience, anti-vaccine groups coach people to cite religious beliefs as a reason to refuse vaccination because it is considered legal to do so. It doesn't have anything to do with religion for a VAST majority of folks.
