Well you can sign a religion pass even if it's not true thats what my mom did when my sister went to public school cause we are total anti-vaccine people

Well, I personally don't think the risk outweighs the benefit. There is a minute chance your child could have autism, so you choose not to protect them from life-threatening illnesses?
Okay, if you say so.....
If you truly feel it's a legitimate argument, don't try to figure out what excuse you can use. Tell them the truth. Apparently, it's a valid argument, and surely, they have noticed all those healthy autistic kids running around at school.
No, wait, that doesn't sound right....
Maybe it's the other way around. There are only a few autistic kids, and there are no cases of the life-threatening diseases. To me, that implies that it's not as big a risk as people imply, and that the vaccinations are working.
Whatever....
Religion is going to be your best bet. You could say your child has an allergy to eggs or something, since many of the vaccinations include traces of that, but you would probably have to provide medical proof that the said allergy exists.
If you just say it goes against your religion, there's not much they can do. They have to respect that.
Please reconsider, though. The threat is so much higher that your child -- and other children he or she is around -- could have some serious health problems than it is that your child could have autism because of the vaccinations.

Everyone is pulling the religion card- "the vaccinations go against the family's religion". How about just vaccinating your child and protect the world from illness?
Also, if your child has had an allergic reaction from previous vaccinations then you may be able to get out of them, but it depends on your state's laws and you usually have to show proof that the child had an allergic reaction previously.
I wasn't able to get any of my vaccinations I needed for school (going into 7th grade I believe- it's been quite a while) due to allergic reactions (throat closing up, hospitilized 3 times due to allergic reactions to basic vaccines).
You really shouldn't lie- if you are going to pull the religion card then you are technically lying and that's a sin also which goes against why you are saying it's against your religion in the first place. It's best to go through with the vaccinations for everyone's health and safety.
Also, saying the vaccinations cause Autism is very far-fetched. I don't believe they have even directly linked the two so the benefits out-weigh the risks either way.

There is NO proven link between autism and vaccinations. If you're that paranoid, get the MMR vaccine a year late. If your kid's going to get autism, he's going to get it regardless of whether or not he has the vaccination. It's also more prevalent in boys. Autism is also more likely to occur frequently within the same family--a family with one autistic child is more likely to have subsequent children with autism. Do your research before making this decision--there are other reasons which are much more valid.

Not sure where you live...
Here, they cannot legally refuse your child admittance to school if they are not vaccinated and you don't need an excuse. There are children out there who are allergic to certain vaccines. You will be required to agree that if an illness such as measles, mumps, whopping cough etc, shows at the school, that you will willingly remove your child for up to 14 days to prevent your child from becoming ill.
I won't lecture you but please take a good hard look at why you have chosen not to immunize. The childs life you may be saving, may be your own.

The laws vary per state. Do a google search for your state and vaccination requirements. I'm in the state of SC, and they only have medical excuses (usually a previous bad reaction to a vaccine) or religious exemptions.
Some states will allow you to exempt for philosophical or personal reasons, but not all.
If you do have only a religious exemption as a choice, here are examples of how you can use Christianity as a religious exemption.

I understand totally. I'm 12 and my doctor didn't want to do the TDAP shot for Virginia Schools, because my school is Private and I went to a Private school before that. The school called my house and left a message telling us they didn't have my shot on my medical record. My doctor decided not to do it because he doesn't believe in hurting or doing anything extra to anyone unless that person or their parent was told face to face that they had to get a shot. So, I had to go back to the doctor. And no, he's not a pediatrician, it's the same doctor my dad goes to. So, doctors can be very helpful. So, try talking to your child's doctor. A pediatrcician may want you to tho and do it or not do anything at all. Try switching to a regular doctor. I don't like the religion card because I'm Christian and I don't want to lie. Good luck!

Oh just tell them the truth - that you're going to coast on the fact that other parents have had their children vaccinated.
Be sure to ignore the fact that some diseases that we thought were irradicated are coming back because of the all the unvaccinated kids.

something bothers me approximately all this...if somebody's baby has certainly been vaccinated against those illnesses why are they demanding approximately different babies who have not been vaccinated, getting the illnesses. If we are to have faith that those pictures are secure, and do their job as is reported...what's the concern! different than babies from college because of the fact they have not had their pictures is inaccurate. it is a mom and father determination to no rely if or no longer they permit their babies to have the triple jab....what's inaccurate with being given the pictures in separate doses. it is been reported interior the previous that incidences of those illnesses are on the upward push because of the fact mom and father have not allowed their babies to have the triple jab, yet there hasn't been one word of point out approximately each and all the immigrant babies coming to our united states who ought to o.k. be carrying any way of ailment with them...alongside with their mom and father...are they being denied an practise because of the fact they have not been immunised...

Sincere religious belief
proving the immunization would be detrimental to the child's health (due to a pre-existing condition)
But i agree with madison 100 %.
