Vaccine Objection

I have just had Religious Objections notarized for my sons' school

district. (We decided not to wait for the forms for Conscientuous

Objection due to the roadblocks TDH is already raising.) Is there

anything else that I need to include with the letter? Would a copy

of the TX Education Code help?

This is our boys' first year in school so I have not had to do this

before.

Thanks.

My son's pediatrician was evidently wrong about being able to check the

titers on pertussis...she said their lab didn't do that or the polio but

they could do the MMR, and diphtheria and tetanus. I guess I'd better have

her check again.

Re: Vaccine Objection

Hi :

Here is a copy of a Texas Religious Exemption that I had prepared for

my youngest daughter, who just started kindergarten this morning. We didn't

need to use it since we got a " Medical Exemption " signed by a doctor friend

of mine after having her titers checked and confirming that she was immune

to mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and Hib. I

prepared it just in case we didn't get the medical exemption.

Hope it helps--All are free to use it--it complies with Texas law to

the letter.

My best.

Religious Objection to Immunization

Child's Name: _________________

Parent's Name: Jeff & a Sell

Address: 6902 Chancellor

City/State/ZIP: Spring, TX 77379

School: Mittelstädt Elementary School

Address: 7525 Kleingreen Lane

City/State/ZIP: Klein, TX 77379

In accordance with the Texas Education Code, Section 38.001, regarding

exceptions to immunization requirements, we hereby certify that the

administration of vaccine and other immunizing agents to our child,

_________________, conflicts with the tenets and practice of our recognized

religion, of which we are adherents. We therefore request that our child be

exempted from the school immunization requirements.

Let this letter also apply for religious exemption from the other state

immunization requirements in accordance with the religious exemption

provisions of Texas Health and Safety Code, Section 161.004 (statewide

immunization of children), Human Resource Code, Section 42.043 (admission to

day care centers), and Texas Administrative Code Title 25 Part 1 Rule §97.62

(immunization requirements in Texas elementary and secondary schools and

institutions of higher education) and Rule §97.101 (statewide immunization

of children by hospitals, physicians, and other health care providers).

We are informed of and we fully understand the risks and benefits of

non-immunization for our child. We swear that all of the foregoing

statements are true to the best of our information, knowledge, and belief.

Does anyone know if the concientious objection is replacing the

religious objection? I filed a religious objection for my son as he

started PPCD at the start of the school year and I did not want to

push the 30 day deadline trying to navigate the C.O. on September 1.

The nurse at his school is saying that, even though we filed the

religious exemption, we have to file a concientious objection on

9.1. Is this correct?

Thanks.

This does not sound right to me. I am in almost the same boat. Waiting on the

conscientious objection form but have the religious exemption from last year,

re-notarized and in hand. However, the school as of yet has not confronted me.

On the TDH website it says the forms will be available no later than September

1, 2003

Has anyone in the know answered this post?

At the above News release from the Texas Dept. of Health, near the bottom of

the release, it says that parents that have a current exemption on file for

Religious reasons are NOT required to file a new exemption form under the

new law.

Has anyone else heard this? IS this correct?

I just spoke to a rep at the Dept. of Health and he said that IF you have an

exemption on file for Religious reasons, with the school district, under the

current law, and before 9/1/2003- then you do not have to submit a new form

under the new law in effect after 9/1/2003.

Again, it says this on their news release at:

I am still interested to hear from Dawn or Jeff, as to whether they have

heard this and is true as it appears to be to me at this time.

Hi Jack & :

The conscientious objection and the religious exemption are two separate and

distinct options parents have, in addition to the old, more difficult to obtain,

medical exemption. In Texas, as of September 1st, we will have 3 options when

faced with declining a mandatory pediatric vaccination after informing

yourselves of the risks and benefits. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

My best.
