The present paper studies vaccination against contagious diseases in the Netherlands. Administrative data show that vaccination rates are lower in municipalities where the orthodox protestant political party gains more votes. Survey data from 1981, 1998 and 2002 for pupils attending orthodox protestant high schools attest that their attitude towards vaccination became more positive. The 2002 survey establishes that mother’s rather than father’s level of education makes for higher chances of pupils to be vaccinated. A scale for Sykes & Matza’s neutralisation techniques shows the expected relationship with the intention of pupils to be vaccinated against meningitis in 2002, at the start of an outbreak of this disease.
