Hi.
I am in Illinois, in a close to Chicago suburb.
I am registering my unvaxed 2 year old into a child care center through the park district I live in. I have to attach the exemption form to the medical form. The exemption is religious and doesn't have to be notarized and need to be written by parents. I wish we had a standard form.
I have two options here. Which one should I use?
Few of my friends had this form turned in to a public schools in Chicago with no problems:
(We / I) {First and Last name(s)}, as the {(parent (s) / guardian(s)} of ______________________(name of newborn child) are exercising (our/my) rights under the US Constitution, PUBLIC HEALTH LAW, ARTICLE 21. CONTROL OF ACUTE COMMUNICABLE DISEASES,TITLE VI. POLIOMYELITIS AND OTHER DISEASES, NY CLS Pub Health 2164 (2002), to receive Religious Exemption from Vaccination, ALL injections, prophylaxis, & testing due to our genuine and sincere religious beliefs which are contrary to the practices herein required.
The U.S. Supreme Court held in Frazee V. Illinois Dept. of Security, 489 U.S. 829, that a religious belief is subject to protection even though no religious group espouses such beliefs or the fact that the religious group to which the individual professes to belong may not advocate or require such belief. This ruling is also reflected in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended Nov. 1, 1980; Part 1605.1-Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Religion.
But we are registering to a child care center not public school so maybe I should use the form similar to the one from http://www.vaclib.org/exempt/illinois.htm using the IL guidelines http://www.vaccineawareness.org/info...nExemption.htm
I really don't want to write the letter myself because I don't know how long the letter should be and other little details. None of my friends had any experience with daycares or preschools
