Veto/Vote NO to S2994 & A2371 and Protect Our Religious Freedom for Vaccine Choice

The Issue

Senate Bill S2994
2019-2020 Legislative Session
Repeals subdivision 9 of section 2164 of the public health law relating to exemption from vaccination due to religious beliefs.

Assembly Bill A2371
2019-2020 Legislative Session
Repeals subdivision 9 of section 2164 of the public health law relating to exemption from vaccination due to religious beliefs.

Our Religious Exemptions are in jeopardy!! These bills are meant to ELIMINATE our freedom to decide to vaccinate or not vaccine our children based on our deep, personal, sincere religious beliefs. Our existing exemptions will be revoked and our children will be forced out of public schools where they have created a life with friends, teachers, sports, extra curricular programs, and more. This is a violation of our privacy to medical decisions, a violation of our freedom of choice, a violation on our religious beliefs, and a violation of basic human rights to make a medical decision for vulnerable children!! We have a constitutional right to education regardless of religious beliefs and that includes our religious decisions on vaccination for our children! We strongly urge our representatives to preserve our rights, protect our children from mandated vaccines against our will, and honor our opposition to these bills. Thank you!
