Does anyone have experience using a religious exemption for vaccinations at a religious school/daycare? Did anyone give you a problem about it? How old was the kid(s) in question?

I think Dtap, Hib, PCV.

LO had reaction to a vax, not sure which one bc got all at once, and I didn't tell the doctor because I was so in shock and then we moved and switched doctors and I don't know if a new doctor would write a TME based on a personal account.

Some schools in Florida accept them and some don’t. You can ask around to find out.

It's not directly, but since it is our Torah duty to care for our health, it could be considered a religious imperative to not give your child something that harms them. In general I wouldn't use Judaism as an "excuse," but like I said, I don't know if I will be able to get a medical exemption, and I don't want my LO suffering again.

Exactly - if something is theoretically "good" but has had observed negative effects, to me that means it's "bad" for my LO and it's my duty not to give it.

If that was legit then this would be a medical exemption not religious

Ideally I would get medical exemption, but I'm not sure my circumstance will allow.

Find out if they’re accepted by the state

Did you try?

You gotta try to know. You could have medical history sent to the new doctor

NJ public schools have to accept religious exemptions.

But yeshivos are private schools and most won't accept.

But some do.

I think the most important one for yeshivos is the mmr. Maybe they will accept if you get that one.

I'm in Florida, and I know my child's school doesn't accept religious exemptions. It says so straight out in the parent portal, I believe. Of course, there's more than one school, and I can't speak for all. It's worth discussing with your doctor first.

It's very common for people to react when getting more than 1 or 2 at a go. Most likely if you do them all separately they won't react...
Of course if you are anti-vac it's a different situation.
Giving alot of vaccines at a go is just wrong coming from a pro-vac.
Make a few short appointments and so them each a week apart.
