Hello everyone,

I was on a couple of months ago when my son Karter, then 13 months

was hospitilized for 5 days following the chicken pox vac. this is

the deal. the dr.'s office has called 3 or 4 times regarding his

well patient check up including shots. He is already past 2 months

late. I am still very unsure as to what to do. The last time he

lost over 6 pounds and is still not back up to his original weight

before he was hospitalized. What I would like help with is how do I

go about telling the dr that I don't think that shots are in the

best interest of my child? Just to let you know I am a very calm

person and avoid conflict at all cost. We live in a small town and

the schools and dr's work together to make my life not so hot. Any

words of wisdom would be completely helpful.

Just a little info I recieved my son's medical info, he was born

with clubfoot and we switched dr's. And it does state that it was a

reaction to the chicken pox vac that caused the issues at hand. I

was under the impression that if it was from a vac. that paperwork

and such had to be sent in to someone that keeps track of all that

kind of stuff. To my knowledge no such thing was done.

Thank you

Tabitha

If you believe your son was injured by a vaccine, first you can visit/phone

www.nvic.org for lots of great info and advice on how to proceed.

Secondly, what state are you in? There are laws in most states on getting

exemptions from vaccines (medical and religious exemptions- I have both for

my son). This info is also on the www.nvic.org website I believe. You can

present the vaccine exemption to your son's doctor. However, some doctors

will refuse to see patients with vaccine exemptions. If that turns out to

be the case, then you may have to find another doctor for your son.

Reactions to vaccines are supposed to be reported to the VAERS (Vaccine

adverse event reporting system, I believe) and one is also entitled to apply

for compensation through the NVICP (National Vaccine Injury Compensation

program). Again you can get info/advice on all of this at www.nvic.org --

just give them a call - they are great!

Are you more comfortable writing things down?

Maybe send a letter to your doctor's office saying " From here forward, We will

not be following the vaccination schedule. ANY vaccinations need to be approved

in advance in writing from me from this point on. " and sign it.

The doctors would like me to vaccinate my daughter - but I (who am normally like

a bull in a china shop) simply smile and say - I know you went to med school,

and got the degree, and the medical license. But I'm the mom - and we're going

to have to agree to disagree on vaccinations. But there are plenty of other

things that I do agree with you about (not medically - but how bright my child

is sure!! :) )

I have to tell the nurse, and the doctor NO - each time. But it's never been a

long discussion with this one. The previous one was and guess what? I stopped

going to her.

And yes, again in a letter - follow up with your doctor asking if the adverse

conditions of your child were reported, and you'd like a copy of what was

reported for your records. If nothing is provided ask again in a week or so

until you get it.
