Re: Vaccine Exemption Question - Question for Dana

[Guest guest]

Hi, Dana! If I can remember correctly you are an attorney? If you

are not, please forgive me.

I have a 3 1/2 year old autistic son and I am currently in the

process of vaccinating my 5 month old child. We have separated the

shots doing DTaP at 3 months, Hib-IPV-PCV 6 weeks later and the 2nd

dose of DTaP just last Thursday at almost 5 months. I really want to

just stop these vaccinations maybe with the exception of the Hib. I

really feel like I have no choice in the matter.

We live in Delaware and see a doctor in land for our 3 year old

and I was wondering if a medical exemption from a doctor from another

state is acceptable or does it have to be a doctor from the state you

live in? Also, we are Catholic and I am not even sure if I would be

able to get a religious exemption. Do I need to go to the Pastor and

ask? It is also coming up for my son to receive his second dose of

MMR and I am in no way going to let him get this.

Do you think that I need to talk with a lawyer in our area to find

out what to do?

I really appreciate you taking the time to answering my questions.

Not Dana here but...Have you read Cave (MD)'s book " What Your Doctor

May Not Have Told You About Childhood Vaccines " ? Do you know that many vaccines

contain aborted human fetal tissue? The religious exemption varies from state to

state. In some states it's enough to believe that the body is a temple...no

need for membership in any particular church or any kind of " note " from a

religious leader. I don't know the details for DE. S

I don't know, but you can look up your state regs here

You can write a religion exemption, look at your state regs for

specific wording, or just write " vaccination is against our sincerely

held religious beliefs " . Catholic is one of the easier ones,

actually.
