Vaccine Exemption Information & Requirements For Each State. A physician writing on a patient chart.
(Source)

Vaccine exemption information for each state is provided below thanks to the National Vaccine Information Center. Parents, I want you to be informed and know your rights for your children’s health, protection and welfare. You can access your state’s vaccine policies and laws by locating your state in the text links below. (source)

As home-educators, we used the religious exemption for vaccinating our children, and (when asked) it never became an issue when I mentioned we had a lawful state exemption.

We were also members of and backed up by the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) which I highly recommend.

The National Vaccine Information Center’s Vaccine Law page provides a summary of state vaccine laws and exemptions available in different states, including which states require the signature of a medical doctor or other state-designated health care worker in order to file a non-medical exemption.

Be aware the map will be changing as the states are slowly removing exemptions.  exemption policies and requirements on a US map

• Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas

• California*, Colorado, Connecticut

• Delaware, District of Columbia

• Florida

• Georgia

• Hawaii

• Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa

• Kansas, Kentucky

• Louisiana

Although NVIC continually updates their website, state laws and rules change frequently and consumers are ultimately responsible for verifying their state’s vaccination and exemption laws and requirements.

Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
