Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 School sent me a letter home saying that my daughter needs proof of her HepB vaccines and of her Chicken pox vaccine before November 4 or she will not be admitted back to school. I did not even know these were required. Hep B is a fairly new vaccine, and which I thought, were mainly only required by healthcare workers and food industry workers. Last I checked, Hepatitis was not rampent among school age children. And as for the Chicken pox vaccine...why NOT just let the kids get it the old fashioned way?? My daughter is now 12. She had them when she was 6. So now they want proof....PROOF???? No, I did not take her to the doctor when she got them as my mom did not take me and my sisters to the doctor when we got them. So now they are telling me that 6 years later I needed documentation....SINCE WHEN?????????? I'm so frustrated with this. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Thanks for your replies...she may have gotten them as part of her routine vaccines. Up until now, I've always conformed. Right now I am having a hard time locating her shot records and our wonderful family physician has stopped seeing pediatric patients (same doc I've gone to since I was a child) The only response I've gotten from the office is to get a Pediatrician, which is really screwing me because he is and always has been my daughter's primary care physician for insurance purposes. How do you get a referral from a primary care to see another primary care doc?? A little notice would have been nice, especially since he is listed as her primary. School sent me this letter today with a deadline for Nov 4th. Hardly enough time to get this straightened out. I just typed up a letter explaining all of this to the school nurse. I've been doing some research on the laws regarding vaccines in Pennsylvania. All are listed as 'required' and the hepB is listed as recommended. If I realize that she has not gotten it, I am going to decline it as well. I work in a hospital. This is the first I've heard of it being a routine vaccination here. As far as I knew, that and the chicken pox was optional for children. I really see no need for either of them.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Hej Kim! I believe that there is some sort of form that you can fill out that gives you full reponsibility for your childs health if you refuse to take the advice of " Medical Experts " . I know this because it was a topic on another list I belonged to a few years back. I'm sure that you could find this form on the net. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Many people don't know this but you don't have to have your kids vaccinated to go to school. Just say you have religious or personal reasons for not having your kids poisoned (vaccinated) and there is nothing they can do about it. They can't deny your kids admittance to public school and all you have to do is sign a paper that says that if there is an outbreak of a disease that a vaccine would normally take care of, you have to keep them home until the outbreak is contained. sirona71 [kims83] Tuesday, October 29, 2002 7:10 PMherbal remedies Subject: [herbal remedies] Vaccines...I'm so aggravatedSchool sent me a letter home saying that my daughter needs proof of her HepB vaccines and of her Chicken pox vaccine before November 4 or she will not be admitted back to school.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Hey Kim, Calm down now. Check with your local state requirements on vaccination. Earlier, about oh 3-4 weeks ago there was quite a discussion on vaccinations. Someone sent a link that will take you to a site that lists state requirements for opting out of vaccinations. Check with your local library as well. All states, as far as I know, have a form you can fill out to say you don't wish your child vaccinated. As far as proof goes, well I guess you'll just have to tell them and get a written paper signed by a witness or two that states that yes your daughter had chicken pox. Now where is that bottle of gin when the stress level goes up. Maybe try a potato or lime on the forehead and valerian on the cats.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Hey Kim, Nothing is required, I believe. You can say vaccinations go against your religious beliefs or maybe Pa. will allow the use of a philosophical belief. Dig a little deeper. Also you might try asking the school, do they give the shots at the school?, that if they can guarantee 100? that this vaccination is perfectly safe, or the doctor and pharaceutical firm that manufactured it then you might consider it but it really is against your religious belief. If they can guarantee with the threat of law suit should anything go wrong they might reconsider whether your daughter truly needs this or not.
