How to Opt Out of Vaccines for Your Child

If you are very concerned about the possible side effects of vaccines, or you don't wish to give them to your child because of religious beliefs, then learn how to opt out of them. States and schools have different policies, so you need to find out what the procedure is in your area.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Waiver of immunization

1. Use the Internet to find out which reasons for a vaccine exemption your state accepts. The three that you can choose from are medical, religious and philosophical. Different states allow exemptions for only one, only two or all three objections.

2. Know all aspects of your state's policies and regulations that pertain to immunizations so that the waiver has the best chance of quick and easy approval. Pay close attention to the language used, and know how it is going to work both for and against you.

3. File the proper paperwork from your state's Department of State Health Services. Remember that you will probably have to get the Waiver of Immunization notarized. The Department of State Health Services will be able to tell you exactly what you need to do in regard to your state's policies.

4. Send a letter to your child's school letting them know of your position about immunizations and to expect further paperwork from you soon. You will also need to file paperwork from the State Health Services with your child's school, since most schools don't have these papers.

5. Remember that a healthy child is more likely to not get sick when exposed to germs. Keep your child at her best with good nutrition, vitamins and plenty of exercise.

on 10/22/2009 California has the most lenient laws regarding vaccination waivers. It is usually quite easy to avoid getting toxic vaccines. All school admission forms have the vaccination waiver right on the back of the medical record form. I have never heard of having to get a waiver notarize. Although I now homeschool, I have never had a problem with schools admitting my unvaccinated children. Furthermore, my (6) children have excellent immune systems, and we rarely if ever get sick. Good point you made about staying healthy to begin with! The best defense is a naturally strong defense.
