Most don't, as far as I know, but you don't have to prove religious belief against vaccines to claim a religious exemption. In most states, it's just a form requiring a signature from a parent stating that religious beliefs prevent a child from receiving vaccines.
Babypink - I think you're totally right. If you or your children don't have an underlying condition that would prevent it being a hyped-up cold, you shouldn't worry about a vaccine. I look at it exactly the same way you do, despite having an underlying condition. If you're overall a healthy person you shouldn't need the flu shot! My family got it when I lived at home because I've had severe asthma since I was little, and if I get sick I have issues with breathing and end up in the hospital. Now that I don't live at home, they don't bother - if my otherwise healthy little brother gets the flu he's sick for a few days and then is totally fine.
Kevin - my gut instinct would be that because she already has contracted employment (at least, your post seems to imply that?), to impose additional strictures of this type wouldn't be permissable? I could very easily be totally wrong, though.
