You are NOT breaking any laws by refusing immunizations for your child(ren). Furthermore, you may be interested in learning about the origins of just a few.

§3313.671 - Required Immunizations; Exceptions
B.4 A pupil who presents a written statement of the pupil's parent or guardian in which the parent or guardian objects to the immunization for good cause, including religious convictions, is not required to be immunized.
To Whom It May Concern:
After listening to many debates; reading a variety of articles, facts, and personal accounts; and personally interviewing numerous authorities on either side of the vaccine issue, I have decided that vaccines are not in the best interest of my child, _______________________.

I, _________________________, Sui Juris, Free, Natural Flesh and Blood Human Being, state Citizen of the Ohio Republic affirm: Be it known to all courts, governments, and other parties that:
Being a person of Strong Christian Morals, it is against my Deep, Sincerely Held, Religious Convictions to accept the injection of any foreign substance into my Body. This includes, but is not limited to, any and all, Vaccinations, Shots, Tests for Diseases, Oral Vaccines, Epidermal Patches and in any other way that Live or Killed Bacterium, Viruses, Pathogens, Germs, or any other Microorganisms, may be introduced into or upon my body.
This written statement to exempt myself from the immunization requirement, and the Mantoux (PPD) Tuberculin Test, because I hold genuine and sincere personal religious beliefs which are inconsistent with these medical procedures and experimentation. The practice of vaccination and the injection of any foreign substance is contrary to my conscientiously held religious beliefs and practices, and violates the free exercise of my religious principles.
The attenuated virus used to produce the Rubella vaccine (RA27/3) was obtained from an aborted fetus and then cultivated on fetal tissue from another aborted baby (WI-38), and is also in the rubella portion of the MMR-II vaccine. The Chickenpox vaccine containing WI-38, MRC-5 and Hepatitis-A vaccine (MRC-5) were obtained from human babies that were electively aborted. A conflict arises because my religious convictions are predicated on the belief that all life is sacred. God's commandment "Thou Shall Not Kill" applies to the practice of abortion.
I, {First and Last name}, am exercising my rights under the First Amendment of the US Constitution and [insert Ohio college exemption statute here, or leave blank for employment situations] to receive Religious Exemption from Vaccination & testing.
Applicable law has been interpreted to mean that a religious belief is subject to protection even though no religious group espouses such beliefs or the fact that the religious group to which the individual professes to belong may not advocate or require such belief. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended Nov. 1, 1980; Part 1605.1-Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Religion.
Our legal rights are guaranteed by the free exercise clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Recent court decisions have upheld the rights of individuals seeking exemptions from immunizations based upon personal and religious reasons. On the U.S. Supreme Court level in Frazee V. Illinois Dept. of Security, 489 U.S. 829, it was found that a state may not deny an exemption simply because a person is not a member of a formal religious organization.
I affirm that vaccination & injections of foreign proteins conflict with my religious belief as stated above. Therefore, I would request that you accommodate my religious beliefs and practices by exempting me from the college vaccination and TB testing requirement.
Rest assured that I do practice a form of immunization that keeps my immune system strong and is in keeping with Biblical principles.
