Not sure why you need an exemption. Just sit tight and no way no how never vaccinate this very sick dog. Don't even enter that arena. You'll be playing by their rules and it's obvious they care not a lick about your animal's well being. State gonna try to pressure you? Screw them as well. Take it to court if it needs to go that far.
In the meantime: fly under the radar. Your dog is more important than you trying to prove something to anyone.
