My doctor has been changed before getting my exception signed and my new OBGYN refused to complete it as she "strongly encouraged the vaxx, but will respect my decision to not get it".
At 3 months from my due date, I REFUSE to inject venom in my body and harm my baby. I will be fired by the end of the month.
Any suggestions??? I'm quite desperate 😅 because I want my medical bills to be taken care of while I'm in labor.
Call a lawyer ASAP - getting fired while pregnant comes with a whole lot of bullshit for just about any employer, and this is established long before COVID came about. Meanwhile, get an application for religious exemption started as fast as possible if you haven't already. Can you track down your previous OB?
Also good for you standing your ground for yourself and for the precious gift from God that you carry in your belly - best wishes to you! :)
I cannot track my previous OBG, but I'll call my church and request a religious exception.
You don't need a church to file a religious exemption.
I wish you all the best - you shouldn't have to be jumping through all these hoops just to retain your bodily autonomy and your job simultaneously. Definitely get a hold of a lawyer though. Find either a labor/employment lawyer or a constitutional lawyer.
What's your denomination?
The majority of the Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church have endorsed the vaccine, so you may not want to affiliate yourself with them.

Denomination doesn't matter for a religious exemption.
