Available Exemptions Medical & Religious & Philosophical Immunization requirements "shall not apply if the parents or legal guardian of that child object thereto on the grounds that immunization conflicts with the religious or philosophical beliefs of the parent or guardian." To obtain an exemption parents must sign a notarized statement requesting a religious, medical or philosophical exemption from the Department of Health (DOH). The parents must then complete an educational component prepared by the DOH, sign an informed consent with a refusal to vaccinate statement and a signed statement of understanding that the unimmunized child may be removed from school during an outbreak. This is a new law signed on April 1, 2003, the forms and education may still be in development but the law is enacted. For pertussis: if a child's sibling or half sibling had an adverse reaction the child is exempt. PDF documents (.pdf)

Newborn_ScreeningBirth Exemptions: For those who are planning a hospital birth but want to evade invasive routine post natal procedures such as a Hep B shot, vitamin K injection, newborn screening, or the application of silver nitrate in the newborn's eyes, a very specific birthing plan must be submitted to the hospital in advance of the birth. Hospital staff must be informed, in advance, of your needs, wants and desires where your baby and birthing experience are concerned. The same applies to midwives. Steps:
Birth Plans (To be used with hospitals and/or midwives) (Links to model birth plan letters) Model Birth Plan Letter for Hospital Births. You can attach an exemption from immunizations. In some states, there are religious exemptions from newborn screening tests such as PKU, etc... Our best and most itemized birthplan: (.pdf) birthplan-itemized.pdf(HTML) BirthPlan-Itemized for reading on screen. Includes handy small dictionary of terms in the document. Model Birth Plan Letter for Hospital Births. This one is more detailed. Model Birth Plan Letter for Hospital Births for an adopted child... Model letter for hospital births for adoptions -- Dear Doctor and Medical Staff.doc (11427)
It would be good idea to use the AFFIDAVIT below AND a model birth plan letter from above above.
Affidavit - Birth Exemptions HTML (simple text) Affidavit to modify. AFFIDAVIT in Microsoft Word If your Title and Paragraph number of your state law is not pasted above, click here for the link to your state law. Vitamin K Injection... The prescribing information on Vitamin K shot states that fatalities are an adverse reaction according to the Merck pharmaceutical package insert. "WARNING - INTRAVENOUS USE Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and immediately after the parenteral administration of AquaMEPHYTON® (Phytonadione)."Links to prescribing information for Vitamin K: http://vaclib.org/chapter/inserts.htm#vitK Alternatives to Vitamin K Prophylaxis... Although oral vitamin K is not licensed for use as a drug by the FDA, drops for oral administration are available. Typically, one drop contains 2 mg. of vitamin K. Contact a midwife in your area, or a birthing supply company (such as birthwithlove.com), or Scientific Botanicals (206 527-5521) where your health care provider can order liquid vitamin K directly. Here's another much safer alternative that your chiropractor or naturopath can order for you. http://www.bioticsresearch.com/Products/BioK.htm A good organic whole food diet along with lots of leafy green vegetables is all that is necessary to prevent vitamin K deficiency in newborns. Hepatitis B Vaccine Most states now require the Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Many parents are also cornered by emergency room personnel during accident visits. Hospitals nationally are under pressure to utilize every opportunity to score a "hit." If your pediatrician understands your views, get him involved with the hospital. As a last resort, protect your right to receive quality care in by asking hospital personal to sign the following waiver. Usually, you'll never find anybody in the hospital to sign this simple form, but you well get relief from demands to vaccinate your child. "I certify that the (Name of Vaccine)________ vaccine being administered to (Name of Child)_________ is free from all known and yet unknown zoonotic or human viruses or viral fragments and will not cause acute or chronic illness in the recipient due to viral contamination or as a reaction to the components of this vaccine. (Signature of Physician and Date)_________." If you do get a signature, hold on to the form. See Birth Plans for more information on avoiding Hep B Vaccination at birth Eyedrops Some states require Prophylaxis against Gonococcal OPHTHALMIA NEONATORUM.

Waivers - Take Care In Signing
If you take your new baby to an MD as opposed to a naturopath and/or chiropractor, please be aware of and careful of any forms you sign.Our WARNING below is about signing (some) state approved and AAP created forms. See this letter from our director, Ingri Cassel, before you consider signing waiver forms. WARNING! A modified AAP form is posted here that you may wish to use with your doctor: AAPmodified.htm AAPmodified.doc MSWord .DOC file | AAPmodified.pdf PDF file, best for printing. Not all State employees are aware of the law and many exhibit the Hitler Complex. Take a firm stand. Some individuals have had difficulty getting the required forms. Such arrogance on the part of State employees should be reported to the Director of your state Department of Health.
