Resident requests Kane County public-health website add Illinois religious-exemption form for vaccines
Summary
A resident urged the committee to add a link to the Illinois certificate of religious exemption to the county immunizations webpage, saying the state form is on the Illinois Department of Public Health website and should be made available like the child health certificate.
Lori Powell, who identified herself as a 23-year resident of Kane County, used the public-comment portion of the meeting to ask the Kane County Public Health Committee to add a link to the Illinois certificate of religious exemption on the county immunizations webpage.
Powell said she had requested VAERS information earlier in 2025 and appreciated that link now appearing on the county site, but that “informed consent is still severely lacking when it comes to vaccines.” She asked that the county provide the state religious-exemption PDF on the county immunizations page “as soon as possible” and said she had emailed the board with the specific PDF link.
The public comment was a non-decision agenda item; no committee response or vote followed Powell’s request during the meeting. The committee accepted public comment under its routine public-comment procedures and proceeded to staff reports.
The committee did not indicate a timeline or next steps on adding the link during the meeting; the request was captured for committee follow-up.
