Welcome To Our RI Resources Page
We aim to provide the most recent information available to help you make informed choices for your family. Currently the state of Rhode Island allows exemptions from the requirements for Religious or Medical belief reasons. No child whose parent or guardian states in writing that vaccination conflicts with his/her sincere religious beliefs shall be required to present an immunization certificate in order to attend school. Medical exemptions are also allowed.
As long as your beliefs about vaccination are religious/spiritual in nature; are sincerely and truly held; and you are able to define and attest to your beliefs in a state court, if necessary, you should be able to file and receive a religious exemption to vaccination for yourself or your child.
A medical exemption must be written by a medical doctor (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathy (D.O.). Some states also allow other state-designated health care workers to certify that the administration of one or more state mandated vaccines would be detrimental to the health of an individual. Most states do not allow a doctor of chiropractic to write medical vaccine exemptions.
