im not trying to start a debate, this is a
genuine question. i was having a
conversation with my mom and she said that
if you don't get (some) of the
vaccinations at bith then your child won't
be accepted into school, is that right?
because i know i read that some of you
aren't going to let the doctors give
certain ones.. like i read someone wasn't
going to allow the hep b shot, but my mom
said it was required for school, so?
confused!

In some areas you can sign a waiver that
states you won't give it and why - or
something. They'll let your child in.

I work in schools and you have to sign a
waver. Schools in the U.S legally can't
deny a child the right to a "free and
appropriate education." That is the law.
It is more difficult if you want to place
your child in preschool. Most preschools
are private and can deny your child
entrance if your child is not vaccinated.
A lot of in-home daycares are requiring it
as well. It is very frustrating to
mothers/fathers who don't believe in
vaccinations but they have to work.

Yeah, the progesterone that I was on is
made from peanuts. 
Anyway, I was sent home from school in 7th
grade because I didn't have the shots that
I needed. (so were my two best friends).
We missed 2 weeks of school.

I really want to ask that question again.
Perhaps it is different state to state???
I can't imagine because of the federal law
being "free and appropriate education."
Hmmm??? I am really curious now. In AZ,
they wouldn't let kid in school unless
they had their vaccines but then I asked
the front office what about people who
didn't believe in it. That is when they
told me about the waiver.

It depends on the state. I googled it and
came up with a few sites that require all
the basic shots as a minimum to attend the
school. Some states offer waivers.
In Canada, I think it's a little different
but I can't find as much info right now.
Geez Ineed to stop posting from work--lol

some vaccines, mmr included, are
cultivated inside eggs or something.
people with egg allergies cannot get the
vaccine because they'll react.

just curious as to why someone would be
against the shots. i guess the allergy
thing would be one of them, but are we
talking religious beliefs? or are there
side effects that are harmful? i don't
know a lot about this subject. i have had
flu shots before because i had chronic
bronchitis and that's about all i know
about the issue. i'm gonna have a kid
soon so i guess i better start learning
about things like this.

Sometimes it's for religious reasons,
sometimes the family are vegans and they
want no animal products in their kids,
some are worried about the mmr and the
link to autism (if there really is one)
and some don't want to cause of bad
reactions on family members.
I got Trey all his vaccines including the
chicken pox and flu, because of his asthma
I need to be vigilant about him getting
sick. I never had problems with any of
the vaccines and there's nothing in my
religion against shots, so trey has them
all and my future child(ren??) will get
them too

I'm pretty sure that here in the uk it
doesn't matter if you've been vaccinated
or not, they ask when you're last tetinus
sp? was and that's it i think. When my
sister put her son into playgroup she
wasn't asked about any vaccinations. Don't
quote me on any of this because i'm not
100% sure

I know that my sisters pick and chose what
shots they wanted their kids to get and
they are all fine. They got the most
important ones for them and the one they
thought were useless they didn't get. My
nephews are starting school this fall and
they were accepted so I guess whatever
shots they got were enough.
I do know some kids though that have never
even gotten a shot and they went to school
so it must be okay to do that in IL.

This is just from my experience.
My neices were not allowed into
school here in .Texas
Untill they were caught up on all
their shots.
They weren't even allowed into daycare or
after school watch untill they had all
their shots and their shot cards saying
they had them all.
