The parent or legal guardian of the child they wish to exempt from vaccination needs to contact the Arkansas Department of Health at 800-462-0599 and request a religious or philosophical exemption form to be mailed to you. They will mail you the form and it is this form that must be used. They will not allow any copies of any forms. Once you have completed the form, mail it back to the state (preferably by certified mail). This must be done every school year (not calendar year) in order for your child to be exempt from immunizations.
If you experience harassment from either the county or state health department for your decision on not to have your child vaccinated, please contact us at info@ExemptMyChild.com Remember: It is your choice to not have your child vaccinated. This is a right that must not be violated by public health officials.
