Letter for Religious Exemption from Vaccines

As a member of the Jehovah's Witness community, I am writing to request a religious exemption from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. My faith teaches me that my body is a temple and that I must preserve its sanctity (1 Corinthians 6:19). The use of fetal cell lines in the development of vaccines raises concerns about the morality of such practices.

The Bible clearly states that human life is sacred, and the taking of innocent lives through abortion is a grave sin. As a result, my religious beliefs do not align with the idea of using aborted fetuses to develop new pharmaceuticals (Deuteronomy 6:5). Furthermore, the mandate to receive the vaccine infringes upon my personal freedom and autonomy.

I understand that many religious organizations have issued statements acknowledging that their faith does not prohibit members from receiving vaccines. However, as a member of the Jehovah's Witness community, I am deeply troubled by the use of fetal cell lines in vaccine development. This issue is central to my religious beliefs, and I cannot compromise on this matter.

I have already applied for a religious exemption through my employer, Valley Health, but was denied due to non-compliance with their vaccine mandate. I am willing to provide additional documentation or answer any questions that may arise from my request. I hope that you will take my concerns seriously and grant me an exemption based on my sincerely held religious beliefs.

In conclusion, as a faithful member of the Jehovah's Witness community, I am requesting a religious exemption from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine due to my strong moral opposition to the use of fetal cell lines in vaccine development. I believe that this accommodation is reasonable and necessary for me to continue living according to my religious principles.

Sincerely,

'Your Name'
