Date: _____/_____/20_____
Governing Authority Name (entity issuing mandate): _______________________________
Address: __________________________________________________________________
RE: Religious Exemption from Immunization Requirements
I, (Legal Name), ______________________________ the undersigned, do hereby swear and affirm that I
am a member of a recognized religious organization, and that the immunizations required by (Governing
Authority Name) ______________________________ are contrary to my religious tenets and practices.
On this basis, as the above referenced immunization requirements violate my right to freely exercise my
religion as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution of The United States of America, I am
asserting my rights to an exemption from (Governing Authority Name)
______________________________ immunization requirements.
I qualify for this exemption based on the following:
1) First Amendment of the United States Constitution
2) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (42 U.S. Code § 2000e) prohibits discrimination against a
sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance. As enforced by the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, Title VII requires employers to reasonably accommodate
an employee's sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance. For religious
accommodation request, according to the EEOC's COVID-19 guidance, employers should
ordinarily assume that an employee's request for religious accommodation is based on a sincerely
held religious belief, practice, or observance.
EEOC guidance also reminds employers that the ADA prohibits employers from both disclosing that an
employee is receiving a reasonable accommodation and retaliating against an employee for requesting an
accommodation.
Failure to uphold 42 U.S. Code § 2000e and any attempt to coerce an individual to get the Covid-19
vaccine is a violation of federal law and may be met with legal action.
Thank you in advance,
