Nothing contained in KRS 158.035, 214.010, 214.020, 214.032 to 214.036, and 214.990
shall be construed to require the testing for tuberculosis or the immunization of any child
at a time when, in the written opinion of his attending physician, such testing or
immunization would be injurious to the child's health. Nor shall KRS 158.035, 214.010,
214.020, 214.032 to 214.036, and 214.990 be construed to require the immunization of
any child whose parents are opposed to medical immunization against disease, and who
object by a written sworn statement to the immunization of such child on religious
grounds. Provided, however, that in the event of an epidemic in a given area, the Cabinet
for Health and Family Services may, by emergency regulation, require the immunization
of all persons within the area of epidemic, against the disease responsible for such
epidemic.
