Tennessee

ACCEPTED

Under federal law, employers and universities cannot legally mandate COVID vaccines because they are unlicensed Emergency Use Authorization products that are, by definition, experimental.

In Tennessee, no specific form is needed for a religious exemption, they only require a signed statement by the parent or guardian that vaccination conflicts with their religious tenets or practices.  If the child needs documentation of a health examination for the school, it must be noted by the healthcare provider on the immunization certificate.  In that case, the provider should check the box that the parent has sought a religious exemption to explain why immunization information is absent or incomplete.

If you are being required to vaccinate for employment, you can use the Employment Exemption form found on the Now Exempt page.

Church of a Higher Power’s General Exemption Statement:

It is my strong religious belief that I shall not, without consent, add nor subtract anything to or from my body. Forcing this would directly violate the Free Excercise Clause and would strip me of my fundamental right to Religious Liberty.
