Illinois. The new language also clarifies that healthcare providers may use their clinical judgment,
along with many sources of information about vaccination, without limitation, to assess whether a
child is more likely to experience an adverse vaccine reaction and if so, may issue a medical
exemption or adopt an individualized schedule. When appropriate, please share this information with
your healthcare providers if you think your child may be prone to experience an adverse vaccine
reaction. The inclusion of the wording without limitation! means that the healthcare provider"s
clinical recommendation cannot be arbitrarily overruled if they determine a medical exemption to a
vaccine or any immunizing agent is appropriate for their patient. The Illinois #epartment of $ublic

SOURCEVaccination Liberationer: While individuals vary as to matters of conscience, I believe it would be difficult
to identify any objection to vaccination as being in harmony as an official "Adventist" position or with the
"health message."
In fact, Seventh-day Adventists (SDA's) during WWII volunteered for vaccine testing (to avoid
combat/combatancy positions in the military, and in keeping with SDA Conscientious Cooperator position)
for such things as tropical diseases. So, the very vaccine you are objecting to, may have resulted from
testing on SDA's.
While there are some risks associated with vaccines, I tend to agree with some of the other answers, that
vaccinations are not simply for the individual, but for those with whom you come in contact. Accordingly,while you may have the "right" to refuse a vaccination, I do not see a problem with a school prohibiting
entrance, or an institution refusing to hire you, as a result of your decision.
There are 18 or 19 states that offer philosophical exemptions to vaccines, meaning the beliefs against
vaccines do not need to be religious in nature. Every state has medical exemption, there are many
reasons why a child shouldn't be vaccinated. And if you have a doctor that believes, as they should, that
the decision to undergo medical treatment is solely that of the parent they will sign an exemption just
because the parent asks them too.

20 states also allow you not to vaccinate due to "personal reasons".
My daughter suffered anyphaxic shock from her early vacchines. I used medical reasons and provided a
written diagnosis although the doctor would not admit it was from the vaccine.Best Answer: There are
zero recognized faiths that decline immunizations and/or vaccinations (in general) based on faith alone.
Some specific injections are on the "no-no" list of a small handful of assorted Christianity faiths, and more
amongst assorted Christian-based cults.
The situation is a matter of unclarity, and one of trust vs. mistrust. If you read the Book of Enoch, you will
understand that some things disguised as being "helpful" are more for control, domination, and long-term
harm than anything. Always be certain you know every single little thing inside of a vaccination, before
you agree to have it injected into yourself or a person you make that decision for.
(Side note)
LOL @ Smash. I could say, in response... "Look at all of those Freemason Clones answering this question
with the standard R&S anti-God rants!!! Do I sense a censorship of fact here?
Source(s):When this answer is reported (aka removed via the Illuminati who do not want you to contact
me regarding this matter) you will know I am correct!
Best Answer: You MUST get a religious exemption BEFORE you enlist, or you will be at their mercy. I
don't know the specifics on how to obtain a religious exemption, but if you don't want to be vaccinated, DO
NOT ENLIST unless you have been given a religious exemption, and you have had it examined by a
knowledgeable attorney. My guess is that it is pretty difficult to get a religious exemption. But it is your only
option besides a medical exemption if you don't want to be vaccinated in the military. It's probably notpossible to get a medical exemption to every vaccine.
"Mistress Mayhem," the military does not vaccinate for AIDS, malaria, or Dengue fever (or as you spelled
it, "dingi.") Prophylactic medication is given for malaria, which is very different from a vaccine.

ou will be given a direct order to have the vaccines, unless there are medical and/or religious reasons.
(For example, there are some shots you cannot take if you have an egg allergy) If you fail to follow orders,
consequences will follow.
Guys tried to get out of their Anthrax vaccines and ended up just throwing away their careers for refusing
without cause. I am delaying vaccines. I am definitely not giving my daughter the Hep B vaccine until way
later in her life, I just don't see the point of vaccinating a 7 pound newborn against an STD. I am not sure
there is a connection between autism and vaccines but there is definitely a connection between vaccines
and autoimmune diseases and cancers. My husband had seizures for several years as a child as a result
of his childhood shots. That was what first made me research this issue. You are right, this is an extremely
difficult decision. I struggled with this decision for several months and sometimes I still question my
decision but at this time I am definitely more comfortable not vaccinating then vaccinating. I did not
vaccinate my daughter at birth for 3 reasons. One- she is not going to be having sex as a newborn and

she's not going to be shooting up. Two- dad and I both do not have hep B and she is not going to daycare
3- I work in research, clinical trials and there is a new study out with monkeys showing that Hep B vaccine
at birth delays milestones in 67% of males- google it on google scholar, it will pop up in a peer reviewed
journal. I am with you- research has not convinced me. When a pharma company tests a vaccine they
don't necessarily test the safety of multiple vaccines. When the immune system responds to a foreign
body it responds with inflammation and fever- times 8 if you go with the CDC recommended vaccineschedule. I am not putting 8 vaccines into my child at 2 months of age and hoping her immune system
doesn't inflame her brain- grant it chances are slim but we are waiting until 6 months and only doing DTaP
and Polio the first year. It's up to you, you are the parent we are still a free country- for now... First, when
he needs more vaccinations simply decline. Each state has different vaccination guidelines, but at his age
I do believe he is not due for any more for quite some time anyway (except for vaccines for seasonal flu
and H1N1, etc.). You must give your informed CONSENT for him to be administered the vaccine, and no
matter what anyone says-nurses, school staff, etc.- it is NOT required.
When he is due for a vaccine that you decline, you simply fill out a waiver. There are waivers available for
religious and medical reasons as well as just personal beliefs. They WANT everyone to believe they are
mandatory so they go along with it, but they are not.
My children have gotten the majority of their vaccinations, but we have declined certain ones and we have
also done them on alternative schedules.

Personal experience and opinion
Mom of three + one on the way!
you just tell the doctor no, they cant get their shots unless you sign their papers saying you are agreeing
and such. they cant force your child to get the shots if you dont want them to. and as the person above
said, at school they do require vaccines but you can sign a paper for that and your child will be able to go
to school. is your child 5 years old? the next one i dont think are until they are 11, when they are about to
enter middle school. ust say no. You have every legal right to refuse and do not have to explain yourself to
anyone.
Alabama offers medical and religious exemptions for public school admittance.
You may have issues with your pediatrician, you may not. But stand firm and do not waver.
When we informed our Dr that we were not vaccinating, he bullied us so badly we had him written up from
his poor conduct. We had to search around a bit but we now have a wonderful pediatrician who not only
respects our decision not to vaccinate, but supports it as well. If you are concerned that they will not allow
you kids in public school without them, There is a waiver you can sign at the school. Personal belief
exemption (PBE)document it is called. Good luck. This is LEGAL and you have the right to opt out.
It not known by many people. Just ask to sign it.
If Dr. try to push you, just say we elect not to have them at this time.

you can refuse vaccines for any reason you want, including just not wanting to get them. All public schools
will tell you that vaccines are required, but that doesn't mean you can't get an exemption. If you want an
exemption, you have to tell the school so and sign a waiver, if you qualify for the exemptions allowed by
your stateIt depends on the state. If they aren't required, you have to know about it. They won't help you
out. You will need a sheet of paper from the school office, and you'll need to fill it out and have the doctor
sign it. They won't make it easy on you. I don't vaccinate my daughter.
Mama Doula · 6 years ago
Every state except Mississippi and West Virginia allow for religious or personal beliefs exemptions to the
school vaccine requirements. But parents usually have to find the information themselves, as most
schools don't tell parents about the option. This link provides the exemption information for every
state.http://www.mothering.com/discussions/sho... In most states the exemptions apply to both public and
private schools, and daycare.
In states with only religious exemptions, no specific religion or church membership is required, as that
would be unconstitutional. Your religious beliefs can be personal and not part of any established religion.
The nurse is confused. The changes that went into effect in December do not affect any of the waiveroptions for vaccinations.
Blanket waivers for missing vaccines are available for immigrant visa applicants when a panel physician
determines that administration of a required vaccine would not be age appropriate or medically
appropriate given the applicant's age, medical history, or current medical condition. Blanket waivers are
also available for vaccines that are not routinely available in a particular country or region, when there is
an insufficient time interval between vaccine doses, and for the influenza vaccine when it is not fall (flu)
season.
You would not qualify for a "blanket waiver" based on your "moral convictions." However, immigrant visa
applicants who object to receiving one or more of the required vaccinations on religious or moral grounds
may seek a waiver of ineligibility under section 212(g)(2)(C) of the INA by filing Form I-601, Application for
Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility, with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
CIS consults the CDC when adjudicating Form I-601 applications filed by individuals with medical grounds
of inadmissibility. er: First of all, the decision to vaccinate or not is up to YOU... not the school, not Yahoo
Answerers... You can still get your child in public school, you'd just provide a letter from yourself stating
that you have decided for personal reasons not to have vaccinations for your children... Vaccination does
NOT insure your child doesn't contract the disease itself... in 5% (20% for pertussis), the vaccine does not

one year old, and we're filling out religious exemption forms so he can attend school without them.
EDIT:
Thumbs down?? Religious exemption, it's perfectly legal & acceptable. Immunizations are not required,
they are optional. Alot of you have been fooled and scared into thinking your child HAS to have them or
else they will DIE or be DAMAGED SEVERELY by a rampant disease.
You do realize your newborn baby isn't immunized until at least 2 months. How come no one is freaking
out about their "unprotected" two month old? What about 4 months? They still haven't gotten the All
Powerful MMR. They could theoretically contract Mumps, Measles or Rubella anytime before 18 months,
that is a whole year and a half you are letting your child be un-protected.
Vaccinations are a "security blanket" to make you feel like your child is safe. They are not 100% effective.
They are not 100% safe. There are "vaccine reactions" happening in almost 50% of cases, but these are
going unreported or ignored, thus making you believe they are safe. How many of your kids had a high
fever ANY TIME 30 days after needles? Did you know this is considered an adverse reaction that should
be reported under federal law, and that when your doctor brushes you off they are commiting a crime?
My dad recieved the MMR vaccine and still contracted Measles as an adult, it landed him in the hospital
for 3 weeks. I got mumps when I was 11, despite being vaccinated. I really don't see the need to inject
dead animal tissues & aborted fetal tissues, or any other chemicals in my child, with the chance that they
will damage him and STILL not protect him from these "horrible diseases" (by the way, I lived through the
mumps, and my dad lived through the measles).
A friend of mine's son just had a vaccine reaction to the MMR, he had a full-on case of measles. Guess

what, the treatment for vaccine-induced measles is the same as "regular" measles. And guess what else,
"regular" and "vaccine" measles ARE THE SAME THING, both are equally "dangerous"!!
would you all vaccinate your children against the common cold? What about letting your child build an
immune system of their own??
OH one more thing.
YES you can opt out using religious, medical or philosophical. All states allow religious, I think most allow
medical, and only a few more "forward thinking" states allow philosophical. The state I live in does not
hold the philosophical exemption. So unless we move, religious it is. I have morals/religious tenants that
go against dead animals or babies being injected in my son. No one can discriminate against religious
beliefs. They can't even question what religion you are.
E.B. ·
It is not true that children need shots to enter school. There are waivers for religious, medical, or
philosophical reasons in every single state in the US. So don't let that be the reason that you decide to
vaccinate. There are serious risks associated with vaccines. Did you have issues not being vaccinated?Then your baby will probably be fine too. Children who are vaccinated are not necessarily protected from
the disease that they are vaccinated for. They can still get the virus or disease. There are many toxins in
vaccines, such as mercury, lead, aluminum, formaldehyde, phenols, and many other toxic chemicals. Do
your research. There are many books that you can buy, and also websites to visit. Good luck

http://www.vaccines.bizland.com/links.htmYeah it could hurt, and the side effects could last for life.
Many of the vaccines are not needed. Also they are not safe. There are still many vaccines that have
thimerosal (doctors were not required to get rid of any stock they had, and could still have some).
Vaccines are not tested for carcinogenic potential. So it is possible that they could cause cancer.
Formaldehyde is in many childhood vaccines and some are made from aborted fetal cells. GROSS! I
know that there are risks of not vaccinating, but there are also some scary risks associated with
vaccinating. Honestly, I know that people say the risks of having a bad reaction are low, but do you want
to take the chance of your child having a bad reaction. Also, I have been looking at each individual
vaccine and the need. Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted, so the risk for an infant is not there. Hepatitis A,
is not needed either, many times children can have it without symptoms, and then they are immune for life
(that is more than a vaccine can do). Mumps are usually asymptomatic, so this vaccine is not always
necessary. Diptheria can be cured with an antibiotic. Measels used to be a normal childhood disease, adn
people gained lifetime immunity. Vaccinations do not give lifetime immunity. That is why people have to
get booster shots... If you are torn and need more time to think about it, delay the vaccines and you can
always get them later. But you will NEVER be able to take them back. I am also not trying to force my
views. It is for you to decide. If you want some more reading material on the subject, e-mail me.
Also there are more links in my profile. And children do not need them for school (there are waivers in
every state). So do not let that be the only reason that you do it.

review this waiver.

vaccine and a blanket waiver is not available, the officer should ask the applicant why the
vaccine is missing. he officer may request clarification during an interview or by sending an

hile an applicant may attribute his or her opposition to a particular religious belief or moral
conviction that is inherently opposed to vaccinations, the focus of the waiver ad+udication should
be on whether that claimed belief or moral conviction is truly held, that is, whether it is applied
consistently in the applicants life.
he applicant does not need to be a member of a recogni6ed religion or attend a specific house of
worship. 7ote that the plain language of the statute refers to religious beliefs or moral
convictions, not religious or moral establishments.
It is necessary to distinguish between strong religious beliefs or moral convictions and mere
preference. !eligious beliefs or moral convictions are generally defined by their ability to cause
an adherent to categorically disregard self8interest in favor of religious or moral tenets. heapplicant has the burden of establishing a strong ob+ection to vaccinations that is based on
religious beliefs or moral convictions, as opposed to a mere preference against vaccinations.
'. Evidence
he applicants ob+ection to the vaccination requirement on account of religious belief or moral
conviction may be established through the applicants sworn statement. In this statement, the
applicant should state the e&act nature of those religious beliefs or moral convictions andestablish how such beliefs would be violated or compromised by complying with the vaccination
requirements.
-dditional corroborating evidence supporting the background for the religious belief or moral

My step-mother-in-law didn't have her kids vaccinated, and they're perfectly healthy.
On the other hand, I've heard a lot of horror stories of parents not vaccinating their child, then the child
develops a life-threatening disease that could have been prevented.
I get my daughter all her shots, except the flu shots. I just don't think flu shots are necessary. My twins are
3 years old and have never had a shot. I breastfeed them for 2 1/2 years to build up thier immunity.
They've never been sick, except for the occational cold.Vaccines contain ingredients such as MSG, antifreeze, phenol (used as a disinfectant), formaldehyde
(cancer causing and used to embalm), aluminum (associated with alzheimer’s disease and seizures),
glycerin (toxic to the kidney, liver, can cause lung damage, gastrointestinal damage and death), lead,
cadmium, sulfates, yeast proteins, antibiotics, acetone (used in nail polish remover), neomycin and
streptomycin. And the ingredient making the press is thimerosol (more toxic than mercury, a preservative
still used in many vaccines, not easily eliminated, can cause severe neurological damage as well as other

life threatening autoimmune disease). These vaccines are grown and strained through animal or human
tissue, like monkey and dog kidney tissue, chick embryo, calf serum, human diploid cells (the dissected
organs of aborted fetuses), pig blood, horse blood and rabbit brain.
Keep up your research and educate before you vaccinate you are not 100% sure of which vaccines you
want your son to have tomorrow (if any), you should not let him get any at the appointment. You can
schedule another appointment at any time to get him vaccinated, but you can never take a vaccine back
once it is given. Never let the doctor or nurse talk you into allowing a vaccine during the appointment.
Listen to what they have to say, then go home and think about it and research it. There is no emergency
to get a vaccine. You should always go home and think about it first.
My kids have never been vaccinated. One got pertussis (whooping cough) at age
2 1/2 years. I got it at the same time, and I was vaccinated for it when I was a child. She also had
chickenpox at 4 years old. And then swine flu at 5 years old. My other child got chickenpox at 11 months
old and measles at 2 years old. None of those illnesses required a doctor's care. They were all easily
treated at home.
Once my kids were no longer contagious from chickenpox (but still scabby), I took them to the doctor to
get it documented in their medical charts, so they would never be excluded from school during a
chickenpox outbreak. I got my son's blood tested for measles immunity awhile after he had it. The results
showed he was immune, so that's how I know for sure what he had was measles. Because I didn't take
him to the doctor when he had it. There was no need, and I also did not want to expose anyone. Measles
is pretty rare, though, with fewer than 200 reported cases per year in the U.S. So there's a very low
chance of getting it. For pertussis (whooping cough), I wish I had known from the beginning of the illness
about sodium ascorbate (a buffered, powdered form of vitamin C). Once my daughter and I started taking
high doses of it throughout the day, we started to get better. But we had the cough for a long time before I
learned about that treatment.
I have never regretted not vaccinating my kids. In fact, I think that not vaccinating them is one of the best
decisions I've made for them. My kids are much healthier than their vaccinated peers. I've researched the
illnesses for which there are vaccines. I'm not afraid of any of the illnesses that they have any chance of
getting. There are some diseases that I would definitely not want my kids to get, like tetanus, diphtheria,
and hepatitis B, but I learned from reading the CDC's Pink Book that there really isn't any chance of them
getting those diseases.http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkboo... They'll have the option of getting
vaccinated for hepatitis B as adults if they choose to participate in high risk activities. I also learned from
the CDC's Pink Book that there has not been a single case of polio in the United States since 1979, other
than some that were caused by the old live virus polio vaccine, which was discontinued in the U.S. in
2000. I'm certainly not worried that my child will be the first person in the U.S. since 1979 to catch polio
naturally.
Jen is wrong. An adverse reaction can happen after any dose of a vaccine. Being fine after the first dose
is absolutely no guarantee that everything will be fine after a second dose.

private schools, and daycare.

In states with only religious exemptions, no specific religion or church membership is required, as that
would be unconstitutional. Your religious beliefs can be personal and not part of any established religion.
