I think the only religion that actually opposes any kind of medical care, including vaccines, is Christian Science.

And the best thing you can do is read "God's Perfect Child" by Caroline Fraser, the second best book I have ever read. (The first best book is "Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder" likewise by Caroline Fraser.)

Fraser is not at all prolific, but I wish she were. Those two books are incredible and I'd recommend both to anyone capable of reading.
