Section 4. Religious Exemptions for Vaccination

Individuals may refuse vaccination if they can demonstrate that the refusal is based on sincerely held religious beliefs.

This statement may be accompanied by a signed affidavit from a religious leader, if the individual wishes.

Section 5. Medical Choice and Informed Consent

(a) Right to Medical Choice: All individuals, including children and adults, have the right to make informed medical decisions regarding vaccination and other medical procedures. Individuals shall not be coerced, forced, or penalized for making medical choices in accordance with their personal beliefs, health conditions, or values.

(b) Informed Consent: Prior to any medical procedure or vaccination, individuals shall be provided with clear, unbiased, and comprehensive information regarding the risks and benefits associated with the procedure. This information must be presented in a manner that allows the individual to make an informed decision without pressure or undue influence.
