We are an alliance of parents, professionals, organizations, and individuals desiring to create a conscientious belief exemption for vaccinations in the state of Maryland. Although our individual positions regarding vaccination may differ, we come together for the common cause of the right to choose and refuse what form of medical intervention individuals and their children receive. This is a matter of informed consent, which is a crucial element of the foundation upon which ethical medical practice rests. This is a basic tenet of health freedom.

Currently, there are 18 states that offer their citizens a conscientious belief/philosophic type exemption. We pride ourselves here in MD on our many liberties, however, affording our citizens with the right to choose what is injected into the bodies of our loved ones is not one of those liberties. Creating a conscientious belief exemption will give our citizens the right to choose whether or not to receive mandated vaccinations. Compulsory vaccination laws that do not provide for these types of exemptions are, in essence, mandating the government’s ‘right’ to ‘own’ an individual’s body.

Presently, Maryland has both a medical and religious exemption to compulsory vaccinations.
