Exemption Letters & Forms... Birth 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. http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/screeningprivacy.htm Religious Exemption from newborn screening allowed. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a-55 (b) Sec. 19a-55. (Formerly Sec. 19a-21b). Newborn infant health screening. Tests required.

Objection of parents to test If the parents of an infant object in writing to a test for phenylketonuria and other inborn errors of metabolism, as being in conflict with their religious tenets and practice, such fact shall be reported to the state department of health and a statement on a form provided by the state department of health signed by the parents shall be made a part of the infant's hospital record.

The prescribing information on Vitamin K shot states that fatalities are an adverse reaction according to the Merck pharmaceutical package insert. (.pdf) http://vaclib.org/chapter/inserts.htm#vitK"WARNING - INTRAVENOUS USE Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and immediately after the parenteral administration of AquaMEPHYTON® (Phytonadione)."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. Sample Vaccine Letters From this website... http://www.vaccines.bizland.com/letters.htm 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 the following manner. (Usually, you'll never find anybody in the hospital to sign this simple form): "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.

The above documents can also be made available in WordPerfect AFFIDAVIT I, _________________________, Sui Juris, Free, Natural Flesh and Blood Human Being, state Citizen of the Connecticut Republic. Be it known to all courts, governments, and other parties that: Being a person of Strong Christian Morals, it is against my Deep, Sincerely Held, Religious Convictions to accept the injection of any foreign substance into my Body or the Body of my Children. This includes, but is not limited to, any and all, Vaccinations, Shots, Tests for Diseases, Oral Vaccines, Epidermal Patches and in any other way that Live or Killed Bacterium, Viruses, Pathogens, Germs, or any other Microorganisms, may be introduced into or upon my newborn's body. This written statement to exempt my newborn from any immunizations, newborn screening, and the Vitamin K shot, because I hold genuine and sincere personal religious beliefs which are inconsistent with these medical procedures & experimentation. The practice of vaccination and the injection or application of any foreign substance is contrary to my conscientiously held religious beliefs and practices, and violates the free exercise of my religious principles. The Hepatitis-B vaccine protects against a disease that is only transmitted through multiple sexual partners or street IV drug users and therefore usurps my parental authority to condemn such activity in my child. The acceptance of this vaccine promotes sexual promiscuity and immoral behavior in direct contradiction to the teachings of our faith. The prescribing information on Vitamin K shot states that fatalities are an adverse reaction according to the Merck pharmaceutical package insert. http://vaclib.org/chapter/inserts.htm#vitK "WARNING - INTRAVENOUS USE Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and immediately after the parenteral administration of AquaMEPHYTON® (Phytonadione)."A conflict arises because my religious convictions are predicated on the belief that all life is sacred. God's commandment "Thou Shall Not Kill" applies to the practice of injection of carcinogenic substances that can kill. (We / I) {First and Last name(s)}, as the {(parent (s) /guardian(s)} of (name of newborn child) are exercising our rights under the First Amendment of the US Constitution , Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a-55 (b), Statute: Sec. 9, and under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a-79(a)(1) to receive Religious Exemption from Vaccination, ALL injections, & testing. Applicable law has been interpreted to mean that a religious belief is subject to protection even though no religious group espouses such beliefs or the fact that the religious group to which the individual professes to belong may not advocate or require such belief. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended Nov. 1, 1980; Part 1605.1-Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Religion. Our legal rights are guaranteed by the free exercise clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Recent court decisions have upheld the rights of individuals seeking exemptions from immunizations based upon personal and religious reasons. On the U.S. Supreme Court level in Frazee V. Illinois Dept. of Security, 489 U.S. 829, it was found that a state may not deny an exemption simply because a person is not a member of a formal religious organization. The Lord Jesus Christ and Our Creator are the only source of protection of my body and that of my family that I can accept. I affirm that vaccination & injections of any foreign substances and proteins conflict with my religious beliefs as stated above. Therefore, I would request that you accommodate my religious beliefs and practices by exempting my newborn child from any vaccinations, injections and testing of any kind. Rest assured that my family and I do practice a form of immunization that keeps our immune systems strong and is in keeping with Biblical principles.

Medical Exemption Form AFFIDAVIT I, _________________________, Sui Juris, Free, Natural Flesh and Blood Human Being, state Citizen of the Connecticut Republic.

This includes, but is not limited to, any and all, Vaccinations, Shots, Tests for Diseases, Oral Vaccines, Epidermal Patches and in any other way that Live or Killed Bacterium, Viruses, Pathogens, Germs, or any other Microorganisms, may be introduced into or upon my body. This written statement to exempt myself from the immunization requirement, and the Mantoux (PPD) Tuberculin Test, because I hold genuine and sincere personal religious beliefs which are inconsistent with these medical procedures and experimentation. The practice of vaccination and the injection of any foreign substance is contrary to my conscientiously held religious beliefs and practices, and violates the free exercise of my religious principles. The attenuated virus used to produce the Rubella vaccine (RA27/3) was obtained from an aborted fetus and then cultivated on fetal tissue from another aborted baby (WI-38), and is also in the rubella portion of the MMR-II vaccine. The Chickenpox vaccine containing WI-38, MRC-5 and Hepatitis-A vaccine (MRC-5) were obtained from human babies that were electively aborted. A conflict arises because my religious convictions are predicated on the belief that all life is sacred. God's commandment "Thou Shall Not Kill" applies to the practice of abortion. The acceptance of these vaccines promotes abortion and violates the Sixth Commandment of "Thou Shall Not Kill". The Hepatitis-B vaccine protects against a disease that is only transmitted through multiple sexual partners or street IV drug users. The acceptance of this vaccine promotes sexual promiscuity and immoral behavior in direct contradiction to the teachings of my faith. I, {First and Last name}, am exercising my rights under the First Amendment of the US Constitution and [insert Connecticut college exemption statute here] to receive Religious Exemption from Vaccination & testing.
