School refused religous exemption form

[Guest guest]

,

I don't know what state you live in. Here in Florida, you still have to go

down to the Health Department and get a state exemption form. The schools

here will not accept a letter from a parent.

Yesterday the school nurse called and left a message stating that

the school district didn't accept my form letter for a religous

exemption, and that I will have to handwrite a letter.

Give me a break!!! What difference does it make? I am sure they

just want to give me a hard time because I am not getting my

daughter vaccinated.

But I am not sure what to write in the letter. I want to make sure

I do this right so that don't turn around and refuse it and kick my

daughter out of school.

Can anyone refer me to a website that has a sample letter for a

religous exemption in IL?

Thanks in advance,

Hi ,

I surfed a little bit and found the following

page: http://www.vaclib.org/exempt/illinois.htm I don't know for

absolutely sure that it's current, but it sure looks like what you are

looking for. If you go down to the section where it says Waiver, it has

some good info, including a link to an example of a religious exemption

form from a University with numbers of the regulations etc. that maybe you

can borrow some text from to make it sound nice and official.

I was anxious about this as well. However, our school district (Los

Angeles) has a simple wiaver to sign. No problem luckily. However, I

did find this form letter on Google. I hope it helps...In accordance

with (your state's law reference), we hereby certify that the

administration of vaccine and other immunizing agents to our

child,____________________, 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 the above mentioned section of our state's

Administrative Code.

We are informed of and we 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.

Here is another one to try...

http://www.vaccineawareness.org/information/SampleReligiousVaccinationExempt

ion.htm

This is the only one I found that said it was specifically for Illinois.

All other info I read for exemptions for your state said to contact the

Health Dept. for a form.

I typed my own letter on my personal letterhead on my computer...

In accordance with Indiana Code # 20-8.1-7-9.5 section 2a: I, Nadine

Turnbow, certify that the administration of vaccine & other immunizing

agents to my child, Dawson Turnbow, is contrary to both my husband's & my

personal religious beliefs, held either individually or jointly with others,

and I therefore request that my child be exempt from the immunization

requirements of the Indiana State Statute 9.5.

Sincerely,

Nadine Turnbow

I then took two copies and had them notarized; one for school, and one for

my files at home.

Hope this helps!!
