Getting Your Religious Vaccine Exemption

There are three types of vaccine exemptions:

1. Medical 

2. Philosophical

3. Religious

Medical is by far the hardest to get, many states do not allow philosophical exemptions, which may leave you with religious exemption as your only option.

We homeschool and happen to live in a state that has great exemption policies.  But we still have to file our vaccination record or exemption with the school district our kids would be in.

I file for the philosophical because it's the easiest to prove.  It's also usually the first to disappear depending on your state's vaccination leaning.  So medical exemptions are almost impossible to get, philosophical exemptions are quickly leaving as a viable option for many states, leaving many of you with a religious exemption, which may or may not affect you.  

Living whole did an amazing write up on how to get your religious vaccine exemption.  It is from a Christian perspective, but you do not need to be a Christian to get a religious exemption.  You only have to have a reason according to your religion, whatever it may be, that vaccination goes against it.

It's definitely written on the snarky side, which she wisely says to leave out if you are in a situation where you have to give an interview to prove your religious exemption thoughts.  But it is awesome and thorough and more importantly has exactly what you need to get your vaccination exemption. Make sure to read the comments because there is some good stuff in there about the first amendment and how the govt. isn't allowed by our own constitution to make rules like forcing vaccinations against our constitutionally protected rights.  (Like that's ever stopped them before....)

This is definitely in my back pocket should my state ever pull the philosophical exemption option.
