Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT - Vaccines
The NY laws allow for religious exemption from vaccinations in the school system: www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/immun/guide/immguid.pdf, page 16, "NYS Requirements for School and Post-Secondary Institution Attendance".
While the state school representatives may think it's required, it's more likely the person(s) asking for the certificate is unaware the law provides exceptions. A form to register the exception as a substitute for the inoculation document is available through the school systems. The form will not be offered; You have to ask for it.
I believe the exemptions exist in all states for all school systems, and I can probably find the supporting documentation if anyone is interested. Without digging any further, it looks like a constitutional issue because all states I've checked have the same exemption.

right...a kid near dirty water...poor hygiene...poor nutrition...
well, that kid might benefit from the vaccine for a malaria or what have you that runs rampant in Mexico.
Now, in NYC, when was the last case of malaria?
And, if you saw it, it would likely be *far* less virulent. (Read "Evolution of Infectious Diseases" by Paul Ewald.)
Are we all going to get the experimental West Nile Vaccine ("only kills one-hundreth of a percent of those innoculated!") when it comes out from Pfizer?
I haven't even *heard* of a case of tuberculosis..rubella....malaria... polio...diptheria...pertussis.....in *years*.
And, as you might imagine, I hang around some people that are positively suspicious of vaccines, and so don't get them.

Same here. Besides, this close to the border, I get to see the results of no vaccinations with regularity. I'll give my kids the shots.
