Welcome to the Vaccine-Ohio website.

The first purpose of this website is to inform Ohioans about their rights concerning vaccinations.

Be Informed about the laws concerning vaccinations for schools and the exemptions that you can use in Ohio. Your child does NOT have to be "up-to-date" on his or her shots before he or she can attend school, any school. I am also looking to post some information regarding the laws concerning animal vaccines.

Sample exemption letter if you choose not to vaccinate or selectively vaccinate.  This is my own personal creation feel free to modify this letter to suit your needs.

  • There are some school district/University specific exemption letters here. I will be continually adding to this page as I find them.

I have not yet heard of anyone in Ohio having trouble with WIC while their child isn't immunized, but just in case - this page states "Immunization records and/or an infant/child's immunization status are in no way tied to the receipt of WIC benefits."

Important Links to other vaccine information.

Please research the diseases that the vaccines are supposed to protect against.  You can look them up at http://www.webmd.com or any other medical website.

If you have any questions about vaccines or their dangers, or about exemptions from vaccines in Ohio, please feel free to e-mail me.  Also, let me know if you have a site you would linked from mine.
