Vaccination Exemption Form

How do I get a copy of the Interim Vaccination Objection Form? The Interim Vaccination Objection Form for Enrolment in NSW Child Care Centres is only available from the NSW Health website. Download and print a copy from the website and take it with you to your medical practitioner or authorised nurse immuniser.

The Form is issued ONLY by county health departments and ONLY for a child who is not immunized because of his/her family's religious tenets or practices. Religious exemption from immunization requirements is located at: www.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/immunization/schoolguide.pdf.

Religious exemption indicates that there is a provision in the statute that allows parents to exempt their children from vaccination if it contradicts their sincere religious beliefs. Philosophical exemption indicates that the statutory language does not restrict the exemption to purely religious or spiritual beliefs.

A medical exemption is allowed when a child has a medical condition that prevents them from receiving a vaccine. All but three states offer nonmedical exemptions for religious or philosophical reasons.

Georgia law allows for two types of exemptions from the immunization requirements: medical and religious. Each child must have one of two items on fileeither a valid Georgia Immunization Certificate (Form 3231) or a signed, notarized statement, which is called an affidavit of religious exemption.

Jehovah's Witnesses banned their members from receiving vaccinations in 1931 but reversed that policy in 1952. The decision of whether to vaccinate themselves or their family is left to individuals. Some more recent Jehovah's Witness publications have mentioned the success of vaccination programs.

To claim a religious exemption, a parent needs only to write a statement of the bona fide religious beliefs and opposition to the immunization requirements, and give it to the child's school in place of an immunization record, according to state law.
