I am in CA - I just signed the " blue form " for philosophical

exemption.

Good luck

We exempted ourselves for religious reasons. Although not an official stance of

our church, we still can rightfully object to fetus tissue being used to make

the vaccines. I also really don't think God would want us to make any more of

our children have neurological problems, so I don't have a problem with the

religious exemption. In our state it only required a check in a box and my

signature.

Hi. I would like to know if anyone here has gotten an exemption for

vaccines for their child. I do not want to vaccinate my 5 year old

with the MMR before he goes into kindergarten and I have a 4 month

old that I do not want to vaccinate as well. If anyone has any

advice please let me know. Thanks so much. Sharon

My state, TN, has a religious exemption for vaccines. All the local

health dept said I should do is write a letter to the school stating

why I am not vaccinating. I plan on typing a letter that simply

states the code and that is my reasoning. In addition, in this state

we have to have a " green card " with either the doc's signature for

the vaccines (or medical waiver), or a statement from him explaining

why no vaccines.

I suggest checking with either your state's website or local health

dept. I found my state's code by doing a search in their code page

with " vaccine exemption " as the search words.

Hi Sharon. Every state has different rules as to what type of exemptions they

will accept. I live in Ohio and just wrote a philosophical objection for my

son. (He starts kindergarten in the fall). It was a really stress-free

process. The school provided a form. I wrote about a paragraph-worth of

explanation and they tucked it away in his file. Check to see which

exemptions are valid in your state, and then check and see what your school

district requires. Really key though is to talk to other parents in your area.

You want to discover if your school district has challenged any exemptions in

the past, and which kind are most likely to be challenged. (even medical

exemptions are subject to challenges. The drug companies have a lot at stake

with the whole vaccine cartel and they constantly lobby congress to get our

ability to have exemptions overturned) Do a little research too on some case

law pertaining to exemptions and cases where parents have gone to court with

their school district and won. It's better to be over prepared on such an

important issue then to let the bureaucracy of the school system push you into

harming your child just so he's eligible for their idea of an appropriate

education!

Our state has a " personal exemption " and I just signed it off on the

school's form as we are personally opposed to these vaccines and then

listed the ones that he was due for prior to kdgn. I also happened

to have a measles titer run for him at the doc office (involves a

blood draw) and it was high enough to show " immunity " (whatever that

REALLY means! LOL!) and anyway, I made a copy of it and had them

attach it to the form so that IF there were a measles outbreak, he

could not be withheld from coming to school because he's already

considered " immune " to it.

But lately I have been seeing parents posting that their MD's are not

buying into the titer argument anymore, which makes me think that

some organization is promoting this information and distributing it

to the docs-- to say that if you have the actual illness and show

high enough titers, that you are immune, but if you have the vaccine

and have high enough titers, that you are really " not immune " and

they want to push the booster shots on you anyway!!! GRRRR!!!

Yes, please check your state on dana's chart and figure out if your

state has a personal exemption (if so, use that) or a religious

exemption or medical exemption. Ours has a personal exemption and

that was very easy to do--the school had the form. If yours is a

religious exemption state then ask the school for a form, or submit a

letter-- there is a link on dana's site.

Yes, I had this very problem for 's kindergarten last year.

She had the sniffles for her well-visit so I told the doc I wanted

to wait until she was feeling better. She told me technically they

don't have to have their 5yr boosters until age 6, but Jess was 6 in

May. I'm behind on her well visits, got one scheduled for Sept. I'm

going to ask for titer level check. I do not plan on vaccinating her

any time soon. She did have a mild reaction to MMR at 12 mos, so I

don't think I will get that one any time soon. As far as my fully-

vaccinated 4 yr old ASD child, I will not vaccinate her again,

unless I feel led to do so. I also expect (although he may not

realize this, lol) a medical waiver for Allie. In addition, I might

have a serious liver disease that I'm hoping (if I have, which I'm

hoping I won't have) if I do have it then it might be enough for a

medical waiver of at least the hepb shot, which has a role in

Allie's autism. I'm also asking for titer level of her hepB in Sept

for her 4 yr well visit.

I found my state's law on religious exemption and will be writing a

simple statement of me asserting code blah blah in regards to

vaccinating my child.
