Need help with vax paperwork and laws in CT

[babycarrier]

Ds1 was vaxed on "schedule" until his 9 mo well baby visit. He hasn't rec'd any since, and won't.

I am just beginning to have to deal with paperwork for activities. How do I do the medical part? My new ped is great, you don't vax -"ok". But ----when I had his medical paper filled out for coop preschool, they listed his vax's through 9 mos and said they needed to. I'm going back for a well child visit in 2 weeks for my 2 year old (unvaxed, except for 1st hep b which they had me sign while he was awaiting transport to NICU at birth - told me they couldn't transport until I signed paper, my baby couldn't breathe ---I signed.)

My question is I don't know how to do this, what do I do? I am trying to do the research and am in the midst of a highly stressful situation and can't get my ducks in a row here.

Ds2 might be in a very part-time daycare situation but all my options require vax.

I know CT has religious exemption. It is against my beliefs 100% to inject my kids with these vaccines, I just don't know how to provide supporting paperwork.

I am not a member of any organized religion.

Ds had low fever and did not seem well after his last shots (at 9 months, so 4 years ago) which lead me to research and why I have stopped. I have no paperwork documenting bad reaction and I did not seek medical attention past phoning ped nurse who said give some tylenol. Arg!

If anyone has info or time and can help guide me, I would really appreciate it.

I just did this for CT...Here are the 2 letters I submitted..

To Whom It May Concern:


RE: Name of child


Under Section 10-208 of the Connecticut general statutes, we are asserting that a physical examination of this child is would be contrary to the religious beliefs of the family.
Sec. 10-208. Exemption from examination or treatment.
No provision of section 10-206 or 10-214 shall be construed to require any pupil to undergo a physical or medical examination or treatment, or to be compelled to receive medical instruction, if the parent or legal guardian of such pupil or the pupil, if such pupil is an emancipated minor or is eighteen years of age or older, in writing, notifies the teacher or principal or other person in charge of such pupil that such parent or guardian or pupil objects, on religious grounds, to such physical or medical examination or treatment or medical instruction.

We do not do Peds or WBCs either and are exempting from that requirement as well.


To Whom It May Concern:

As the parent(s)/guardian(s) of Name of Child, we hereby assert that the immunization of this student would be contrary to the Religious beliefs of this child. Therefore, this child shall be exempt from the required immunizations under Section 10-204a of the Connecticut General Statutes and shall be permitted to attend school except in the case of a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak

bold assertion

and shall be permitted to attend school except in the case of a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak
in the school.

No vaccine has ever been shown to prevent any disease.

Assignment for tonight:
Write this sentence 100 times:

"There is no causal evidence to support the claim that any vaccine creates any immunity."

This is the state's actual form that I submitted to daycare: for a religious exemption. You don't need to belong to a specific religion and do not have to explain to anyone what your religion is.

I didn't think you had to list previous vaxes though - in fact, I've always seen it recommended to not put any down to avoid confusion, questioning, etc. Not sure how to get your ped to stop doing that!

Unfortunatly, that is the state law though...true ar not...you will be excluded in case of an outbreak.

You say that like it is a bad thing.

Can you imagine not being excluded from a disease ridden environment?

The vaccinated will be forced to live in a disease ridden environment with no protection from the diseases armed only with the notion that vaccines protect them.

Reason 5,000,000 to homeschool.

The state never ceases to find ways to destroy or damage us.

An outbreak is defined by the individual school. One child with chicken pox can be an outbreak which could result in a vax exempt child being excluded for an indefinite about of time. If there are several cases that could result in a VE child being excluded for a few months (worse case). VAD's should be treated like any other illness: a child is ill they stay home, a child is not ill they stay in school. It is wrong to exclude a healthy child because another, already removed, is ill. Besides, if you are looking for natural immunity being excluded makes that difficult.

Yes. Cross out the vaccine area on your form, initial it, and add "submitting religious exemption, see attached." If they refuse go to a FP and have them do it. Though you could always submit an exemption form for the physical as well .

thank you! this is a preschool that is not attached to his next schooling adventure. I will cross out for the future and go from there. thank you again.
