A vaccination refusal letter is a document that families in Turkey sign within the Ministry of Health's procedures when they choose not to vaccinate their children with routine vaccines. Since 2016, under the "Extended Immunization Program," families who refuse vaccination are asked to sign a "Vaccination Refusal Commitment" document. In this letter, the family declares that they've been informed about possible risks and benefits of vaccines but choose not to vaccinate anyway. You need to deliver the letter to your family health center or local health clinic in person; you'll typically receive a copy and one goes in the file. After vaccination refusal, your child faces higher infection risk compared to vaccinated children in group settings like daycare and school, and during outbreaks, temporary school exclusion may be applied. I recommend discussing these long-term effects with your pediatrician before making your decision.
