In accordance with New Jersey State Law, we hereby certify that the

administration of vaccine and other immunizing agents to our child,

xxxxxx, conflicts with our sincerely held religious beliefs. We

therefore require that our child be exempted from the school

immunization requirements in accordance with the exemption clause

found in New Jersey's Administrative Code.

We believe in God, and that God has created us in His image. In

being created in God's image, we are given his perfect immune

system. We are bestowed with His gift, the immune system. We believe

it is sacrilegious and a violation of our sacred religious beliefs

to violate what God has given us by showing a lack of faith in God.

Immunizations are a lack of faith in God and His way, the immune

system.

We believe that God loves us, and will take care of us if we place

our trust in Him. We believe that immunizations show no faith in

God's promises of protection for us, saying to God that you trust

man more than His holy words of protection for us.

Our beliefs teach us that children are a gift from God and that we

are entrusted with their care and welfare. We are choosing to do our

God given duty and responsibility to protect our child by not

subjecting our child to the risks of vaccines.

" As a consequence, your faith rests not on the wisdom of men but on

the power of God. "

(1st COR 2:5)

" If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For the

temple of God is holy, and you are that temple. " (1st COR: 3:17)

We are informed of and fully understand the risks 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.

Sincerely,

We got a fax from our principal that said the same thing, that we

have to give our religion. ly, I believe that for a public

school to even ask for your religion should be a violation of the

law. We should not need to state our religion because all religious

beliefs must be equally honored regardless of the religion.

I found in an Illinois law (Illinois School Code) that if the school

does not meet 90% compliance with vaccinations, that they will have

10% of their federal funding withheld...

hmmm... the plot thickens.

Thanks for all your help. I wrote a new letter based upon the first

response and added specifics based upon a website that is dedicated

to Illinois Vaccination. I will also add some from the NJ letter

that worked below (siting lawbooks is one thing, but siting the

Bible, well, that to me carries a bit more weight).

The school district already knows that they have gotten their first

few rounds of immunizations and are trying to use that against us, so

what I'm going to do is quote 1Cor and say that we believe that our

son's ASD is God's response to our having vaccinated him and that we

reject all future vaccinations for all our kids for this reason.

Let's see those lawyers argue that!

Perhaps - The name of the religion is not a factor in accepting the

exemption, HOWEVER NOT providing it is grounds for rejection of

exemption. In others, they are just recording the relition for the

state/CDC to analize later in a study.

For example your first and last name are NOT a factor in the

exemption, but NOT providing your name IS.

I would recommend you state to the principal that:

My lawyer has request you provide a written clairifcation as to HOW

the religion name is used for determination of exemption acceptance

or rejection.

I had a similar problem in the state of PA. I did not provide my

income on a form so they rejected my son's public service request.

However, my income amount was not a factor in access to public

service. They were only collecting the income data.

Good luck.

It is my understanding that you do need to state why the vaccine

interferes with your beliefs, and we wrote several paragraphs

regarding that. As to the name, either give them the name of the

religious affilitiion you hold or just state that you do not belong

to a particular group.
