Yes, but the school exemptions also cover the day cares - nothing different than before

And NJ people are working on a philosophical exemption

A BETTER source than healthfreedom, for information on NJ is New Jersey Coalition for Vaccine Choice http://www.njvaccinationchoice.org/index.html
or http://www.njaicv.org (hopefully they are working together)

NONE of us can do much for another state - work in your own state with those who are already working on these issues or start something yourself.

What can you do in your state?

2. Are vaccines required for children to attend school and daycare in New Jersey?
New Jersey has mandatory vaccination regulations, however, a child can attend public or most private schools with select or no vaccines if the parent/guardian provides a valid medical or religious exemption letter to the school administrator. Private and religiously affiliated schools may or may not accept religious vaccine exemptions, however. NJ does not currently allow parents to use a conscientious/philosophical vaccine exemption, which would change if bill A260/S1071passes into law.

5. Does my child qualify for a religious exemption and how do I claim this?
In order to qualify for a religious exemption, you must have sincere religious beliefs that prohibit vaccination. A valid religious exemption letter is also required to legally exempt a child from mandated vaccines. A parent/guardian must write the letter and should include the NJ state law that defines the right to a religious exemption and include an explanation as to why the practice of vaccination conflicts with your religious beliefs/ tenets. You are not obligated to disclose your religion to obtain a religious exemption. In the recent past, school officials have erroneously requested letters from clergy or they have questioned a parents religion, as well as other discriminatory practices. According to a Dec. 1, 2008 memo by the NJ Department of Health and Senior Services, school administrators were specifically instructed to avoidsuch practices. The memo itself can be accessed here .
You are right, but we need to pick our battles and work with what we have already and NJ is working on a philosophical exemption and could use help from those in NJ

We all need to be focusing on our own state as it is a state issue, not a national issue, at present.
