Vaccine Requirements and Exemptions Codes
Religious exemption indicates that there is a provision in the statute that allows parents to exempt their children from vaccination and adults to opt out of vaccination if it contradicts their sincere religious beliefs. Per the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EOCC) which enforces Federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination, employers MUST offer religious and disability accommodations to vaccine requirements.
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1: Download and print the Religious Exemption form below under the section "RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION FORMS (ADULT AND CHILD)". Make sure to print the correct form for either a child or an adult.
Step 2: (For child only) Locate your state code below which allows for Religious Vaccine Exemptions for school and write it on your Religious Vaccination form. CA, NY, ME, MS, and WV will NOT accept Religious Exemptions for students grades K-12.
Step 3: Make sure to get your Religious Exemption form notarized.
Step 4: If the institution requesting vaccination needs further explanation as to why vaccines conflict with/or violate your sincerely held religious belief/observance/practice, please see the "RELIGIOUS CONCERNS" tab on the FOR-US website for detailed information regarding specific religious reasons as to why some may oppose vaccination. Alternatively, rather than explaining why vaccines conflict with/or violate your beliefs, you can follow step #5 below and ask the requesting institution to "see the attachment."
Step 5: If the institution requesting vaccination needs the signature or a letter from a clergy member to back up your request for a Religious Exemption, you may wish to present the information found on the FOR-US website, along with your exemption form to one of your local faith leaders for guidance. FOR-US has sample letters under the tab "CLERGY LETTERS." If you are having difficulty locating a faith leader to help you with this process, please feel free to email info@forunitedsolutions.org so that we may help you complete the process of submitting a Religious Exemption.
* SOME STATES MAY REQUIRE YOU USE ADDITIONAL FORMS THAT THE STATE PROVIDES.
