question about religious exemption and health appraisal form

[melags]

I am moving to Michigan from Illinois my question is I will be submitting religious exemption for my children's school. Does the health appraisal form still need to be filled out by a doctor ??? Do I just need to submit my exemption letter and the waiver. Thanks !

not sure what you have to do,but here are the laws

Michigan
Text of law regarding exemptions to vaccines: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(yd3...e=mcl-333-9215

Opt-out form for the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR), which is a vaccine registryhttp://www.mcir.org/forms/OptOut%20Form%20Jan07.pdf

Quote:

(2) A child is exempt from this part if a parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis of the child presents a written statement to the administrator of the child's school or operator of the group program to the effect that the requirements of this part cannot be met because of religious convictions or other objection to immunization.

Is the health appraisal form like the "physical"? in my state it still needs to be filled out by a doctor and submitted along with the exemption.
