Kentucky allows for medical and religious exemptions.

to court?Do I go to a notary?Will this be OK for her private school?She goes

school?Thanks alot!!!ne

The code says this:

2) the 'parents are opposed to medical immunization against disease,

and who object by a written sworn statement to the immunization of

such child on religious grounds.'

So you write something like this:

" I am the parent of [child's name], a minor child. I object to

medical immunization against disease on religious grounds. Therefore

I will not agree to immunizing my child. "

I don't know the requirements in Kentucky for the " sworn " statement.

> part time.

If the school accepts any federal or state funds, and most do even tho

they are private, then they are required to accept your state's

exemption. Bring a copy of the code with you, just in case. If you

are challenged, say " here is the law. My statement conforms with the

law. Where do you find that more is required? "
