Vaccinations required for college admittance question

[Guest guest]

I will have 2 college freshmen attending different Indiana colleges this

year. I have written the following to give to our doctor Tuesday when they

both go for their college entrance physicals. Does anyone have any

experience with this? Will this letter suffice? Many thanks for any advice

or thoughts in advance.

RE: Religious objection to further vaccination

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

Pursuant to the Indiana State code on Immunization Requirements, please

consider this my written request to be exempt from any required or requested

vaccinations based on my religious beliefs. Code follows.

 

IC 20-12-71-14

Religious objections

Sec. 14. (a) Except as otherwise provided, a student may not be

required to undergo any testing, examination, immunization, or treatment

required under this chapter when the student objects on religious grounds.

(b) A religious objection does not exempt a student from any testing,

examination, immunization, or treatment required under this chapter unless

the exemption is made in writing, signed by the student, and delivered to

the individual who might order a test, an examination, an immunization, or a

treatment absent the religious objection.

As added by P.L.192-1993, SEC.7.

 

Sincerely,
