Yes, you can claim a religious exemption to vaccines in North Carolina — and it’s easier than most people think.
Here’s how to do it, step by step:
✅ Step 1: Know Your Rights
North Carolina law allows any parent to exempt their child from vaccines based on religious belief.
The state does not:
- Require you to fill out a government form
- Require a note from your pastor or church
- Require you to be part of a specific religion
- Require notarization or a lawyer
✅ Step 2: Write a Statement
There’s no official form, so you’ll write a short statement in your own words. You can handwrite it or type and print it.
Your statement must include:
- Your child’s full name
- Your child’s date of birth
- A short statement explaining that vaccination conflicts with your religious beliefs
✍️ Sample Statement (Copy and Paste)
Religious Exemption Statement – North Carolina
To Whom It May Concern:
I am exercising my right under North Carolina law to exempt my child from all immunization requirements based on my sincerely held religious beliefs.
Child’s Full Name: [Insert Full Name]
Date of Birth: [Insert Date of Birth]
I believe that the human body is a sacred creation and that introducing vaccines into the body violates my religious beliefs about bodily integrity, divine design, and faith-based protection.
This belief is deeply held, consistent, and not aligned with vaccination.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Signature – optional]
[Date]
✅ Step 3: Send the Statement to the Right Place
DO NOT send this to the state.
DO NOT mail it to Raleigh.
Instead:
👉 Give it directly to your child’s school, daycare, or program.
Make a copy for your records before handing it over.
🧠 Tony’s Tip
“They want you scared of the door. Scared of being outside the system. So you’ll fold.”
Don’t fold. This is your legal right. You’re not asking permission — you’re claiming a freedom the law already gives you.
