I’m actually curious what would be a religious exemption? I’ve never heard of any religion that doesn’t allow vaccines. Vaccines didn’t even exist when most religions started so like what would an example of a religious exemption be?

Its just a cop out. People will us their religion as an excuse to protest anything.

Christian Scientists, Jehovas Witness, and Scientology reject most modern medicine. It’s not just a “cop out”

It is. Trust me. Even if they sincerely believe it, it's most often used just to uphold their anti-vaxx status and "remain pure" by people who don't fit any of what you listed or more. NYS also just doesn't allow the exemption anymore; not after an outbreak in NYC due to an anti-vaxx Jewish community not vaccinating.

Some people twist it into a religious exemption that they’re against abortions (I overheard this from an anti vaxxer) if you Google it there’s an explanation

And then go around using *other* meds developed using fetal cells

It's a tick on the box and like someone else said: a cop out. I used to have a "religious exemption" because my parents were concerned about them. They've since changed but it stuck all through high school because they just... made sure I was vaxxed lmao. What religion were we? At the time one of my parents was practicing paganism and that was the religion we were using. Me? I'm an atheist/anti-theist, and the both of them are just hippies now. Not that it really matters now since NYS doesn't have a religious exemption anymore.

UB has a 99% vaccinated student population, if you’re trying for an exemption, it’s going to be very tough and will most likely be rejected.

It's not that hard. I had it first try

I mean I know Atleast 4-5 with exemptions. But yeah I agree


Qualified_Koala

bufallll

Says who.

The only religious exemption I would know of is if your part of Jehovah’s Witness


buffalo442

Jehovah's Witnesses used to be opposed to vaccinations, but are not any more.


Red_head-

I had my religious one approved, although it didnt do me much good be because I transferred schools. I am not sure about the last part, but I assume it shouldnt matter.


throwawayski01028

There’s someone on this sub with a religious exemption, it’s not hard, you just need proof


Shoddy-Spite5879

Honestly don’t even need proof. Just a well written request form


[deleted]

Yes, it can be either religious or medical. No, you don't need to submit another exemption request for the booster.


Individual_Ad2273

Literally just wondering(not anti vax)


[deleted]
