Can I Refuse to be Vaccinated on Religious or Moral Grounds?

By , About.com Guide

Question: Can I Refuse to be Vaccinated on Religious or Moral Grounds?
Answer:

You may request an exemption from the vaccination requirement if the vaccinations would be against your religious beliefs or moral convictions.

You will need to submit Form I-160 Application for Waiver of Ground of Inadmissibility with evidence to show that you are opposed to vaccinations in any form; the objection is based on religious belief or moral conviction; and the belief or conviction is sincere.
