Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I do have a religious exemption for vaccines for my child. We live in Fulton county, NY. We are extremely lucky to have such an understanding school district. They simply ask me to put into writing the reason(s) why I choose not to continue to give my child vaccines. I used some verses out of the bible. They also know that she had a vaccine reaction that gave her a stroke, put her into a coma & gave her seizures and that we've been hard at work fixing what we can. They also understand that her ped. dismisses this entirely. We use him for some diagnosis' & the fact that we need one for school purposes. I am hoping someday to get her up to par enough to actually home-school her myself. She has been ill out of school for 5 weeks now. Hopefully, will get better soon. The vaccine injury coalition, VIC can give you pointers. There may be some more info. on their old site too. The Autism Autoimmunity Project. Good luck. If you need more help contact me offline @ jlessard1@.... Hope this helps, Jenn & K tamitamir <tamitamir@...> wrote: Hi, I just moved to Westchester County, NY, and found out about the unbelievable situation in NY regarding religious exemption. Parents are required to explain in an affidavit exactly WHY their religious beliefs are against the vaccines, are put through inquisition by schools to prove otherwise and their whole lifestyle can be put under scrutiny (parents were questioned, for example, about the toppings on their other children's ice cream...). If anybody here succeeded in getting through this without hearings and courts, please let me know how. I'm in the Katonah - boro disctrict. Please email me privately to tamitamir@.... Thanks a lot in advance! Tami __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
