Change in Religious Exemption for Immunizations
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Vaccine exemptions pose a danger to Alaska children from the increased risk of contracting an infectious disease. Recent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases have been occurring in many states, including Alaska. In response, the State of Alaska Immunization Program updated the process of filing for a religious exemption.
Beginning July 1, 2013, if you choose to obtain a religious exemption for your child you must comply with the following:
• Religious exemptions must be documented on the official State of Alaska Religious Exemption Form (Form revision date is 3/2013)
• Annual renewal of the exemption form is required (Previously signed religious exemption forms will not be grandfathered.)
• Religious exemption forms must be notarized
Immunizing children protects them and others who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons. It also decreases the severity of a case if the vaccinated child does get the disease.
A copy of the new religious exemption form is available on the school district web site, or from your school nurse. This form cannot be signed and notarized prior to July 1, 2013.
If you don’t want the Religious Exemption your child will need to be immunized.
Please call Maureen Kauleinamoku RN, Nursing Service Coordinator at 452-2000 Ext. 11253 or your school nurse if you have any questions.
