There is NO bare minimum.

Georgia has a religious exemption... (ANY one else in Georgia with

experience???)

All you do is write up a letter worded the same as this - the following

immunizations conflict with my religious beliefs.

NO one has the right to question your religious beliefs - consitutional

separation of church and state.

Give them a copy of the law - double check to be sure it is the same as below.

And give them your letter.

true, but generally, if you prepare your religious exemption properly, you

will not be given too much trouble. good luck!! it's worth a try before you

vaccinate.

It is state law - you show them the law.

It sounds like you aren't too convinced of the dangers of vaccination and I

would encourage you to research carefully. I just provided you with the

exemption information.

You do not have to vaccinate for daycare. You simply ask for a 681 form and

the daycare HAS to accept this form.
