The parent or legal guardian of the child they wish to exempt from vaccination needs to fill out the Certificate of Exemption From School/Daycare Immunization Requirements form (Click on the link below for the form) and have it notarized. The form must then be mailed to the New Mexico Immunization Program (preferably by certified mail). Their address is:
Celina Lopez Attn: Exemption form NM Immunization Program PO Box 26110 Santa Fe, NM 87502-6110
They will review and sign the form, and mail it back to you. When you receive the form back from the Immunization Program, give it to the daycare or school upon registration. This process needs to be done every school year in order for your child to be exempt from immunizations. For questions or more information please contact the New Mexico Department of Health, Immunization Program at 888-231-2367.
If you experience harassment from either the county or state health department for your decision on not to have your child vaccinated, please contact us at info@ExemptMyChild.com Remember: It is your choice to not have your child vaccinated. This is a right that must not be violated by public health officials.
