Re: religious excemption letter requested for uni for 23 yr old student

[Guest guest]

I guess this is a guestion for a lawyer but I don't believe the

religious exemption is linked to age. It has been several years ago

but I helped a friend who was older write a letter to a college.

They had been a bit agressive with her but I made a comment in the

letter that I was sure it wasn't their intent to violate her right to

practive her religion--no metion of type of church. After the letter

she never heard another word. If your daughter doesn't understand

why you didn't vaccinate her there is no time like the present to

start teaching her. Share some of the information you get here a

little at a time. If she hasn't already she will get a lot of

pressure for the HPV shot. Start with that--This shot is using girls

as lab rats. Many have been injured and killed! Good luck, Jan

Yeah, I grew up as an Army dependent. Which means I got EXTRA inoculations for typhoid fever, yellow fever, typhus, in addition to all the usual things they used to give back then. Peace,Kathy E.On Aug 20, 2008, at 12:07 AM, Ingrid Blank wrote: I hope she's not resentful that you didn't vaccinate.
