i went to the health dept to get a copy of the religious exemption form. the receptionist made me sign my kids in (never mind i only had one with me 
) and i tried to explain that i just wanted a copy to look at and pray over. anyway, i signed us in and waited, but for some reason i got really paranoid and put a made up addy and phone # on the card. so after i sat down a mom w/2 kiddos came and sat next to me and whispered, "i'm here for the same reason!". she had been waiting an hour, but once she went in the room she came right our 5 mins later. took them another hour to call me. i told the RN i just wanted a copy to take home and she said no. 
so i said OK and asked if i could read it before i signed it. she slid the form over, but kept her hand right on it. well, she didn't know who she was messing with. lol i just moved really fast and picked it up and was getting ready to put it in my purse and leave, but she offered to make a xerox copy for me, and i thought i better just let it go. all i wanted was to just read it and take my time deciding. so i have a copy of it now. it looks pretty simple. i'll prolly go back and take care of it in a week or two.
it contains a paragraph that says "i understand that if an outbreak of a vax preventable disease occurs my dc will be banned from school til its over". so i asked the RN why? she said, "b/c your unvax dc could catch it and spread it". and i said, "how could it be spread if ALL the other kids are vaxed?" and the reply was..."cuz vax doesn't always work for all dc and someone could get sick!" roflmbo! i ended the episode by saying, "well, barring my kids from school during an outbreak is counterproductive to why i'm not vaxing. i want them to be exposed to some degree". she asked why and i said to boost their immune systems and possibly acquire natural immunity, to which she replied, "HUMPF!" i love it when i'm smarter than ppl w/more "education". lol

May I ask why you had to go there to use their form? I mean, I love the one on Gitti's link. Isn't that sufficient? I have a really simple one that was passed on to us. I am just assuming when my kids goto school, that will suffice. Will it not?
