Please understand this: Every state has philisophical, medical, or religous exemptions (or a combination of all three) that permits your child to attend public schools without his or her vaccinations!
It’s a myth, it’s a lie – it’s NOT TRUE.
Please check your state’s laws here: http://www.vaccinetruth.net/
I reside in Ohio, so all I needed to do was write a simple letter:
| Vaccine Refusal Form We, (your names here), give notice to (your city here) City Schools (located in your city/state here) stating that we have chosen not to vaccinate our child, (CHILD’S NAME HERE), because we are philosophically opposed to the concept of vaccines.
We maintain this is a responsible and ethically justifiable position for the following reasons:
Therefore, we believe that vaccination is a medical procedure that could reasonably be termed as experimental each time it is performed on a healthy child. Our state law makes provisions for non-vaccination of children whose parents object to vaccines for religious or philosophical reasons. §3313.671 – Required Immunizations; Exceptions We accept full responsibility for the health of our child, and because of philosophical conviction, do not wish our child vaccinated. In the event of any infectious condition, our child would of course remain at home. We further understand that during the course of an outbreak of any so-called “vaccine preventable disease” would occur at your facility, our child is subject to exclusion from your facility for the duration of the outbreak. ______________________________ ____________ Date ______________________________ ____________ Date |
Here is the state law that shows it is acceptable (see item #4 under section B):

TITLE XXXIII [33] EDUCATION
CHAPTER 3313: BOARDS OF EDUCATION
[SCHOOL YEAR]
ORC Ann. 3313.671 (Anderson 2007)
3313.671 Proof of required immunizations – exceptions.

(4) A pupil who presents a written statement of the pupil’s parent or guardian in which the parent or guardian declines to have the pupil immunized for reasons of conscience, including religious convictions, is not required to be immunized.
(5) A child whose physician certifies in writing that such immunization against any disease is medically contraindicated is not required to be immunized against that disease.








You are a great resource here! I’m so glad my boys are beyond this – however, I stand by my view that the H1N1 was indeed a trumped up non-event like you mentioned. Keep up the rant, you hard working mom!
