Just say no. Religious exemptions are because of a belief. There is, nowhere in legislation, a need for a 'reason to prove' one's belief. So one does not have to say that it is because of the mRNA, or whatever ingredient, so that they can then argue. The point is to say no, and that is the end of the story.

They cannot argue with I don't want to. But they may still try to argue that she is afraid of needles when nurses should not be, or something, which should be expected, but can be a nasty experience for a young person.

However, keep advising her to just say no. They cannot make her take a needle unless they strap her down, while she screams. I don't think we are at that stage yet. Even when the employers threaten to fire her (which is illegal under the Nuremberg codes), if she stands firm, they might just fold. But it might get hot, so try to support her.

In any case, a religious exemption, no matter what religious belief it is based on, is a piece of paper filed at HR (keep a copy), and cannot be argued with. So it covers her, legally if necessary (i.e. when the employers are stupid and fire her after the application for an exemption is filed - then be prepared to take it to court (s) and she will have the receipts).

Note also that the religion does not have to be 'proven' either. So no demands for proof of legitimacy, literature from that faith, or letters from pastors or something like that cannot be demanded.

In any case, many institutions are now more afraid of losing staff, and they are averse to loud and public court cases.
