Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 My children were fully vaxed up until about 8 years ago. We have religious exemptions for them now. I think what the ladies are referring to is people who still want to give SOME vaccines, but opt out of others. Exemptions won't work in that case. With the exemptions you are saying no more vaccines, period. It doesn't matter if they've already had them before you came to the point that you want them to get no more. HTH Kay : Illinois & elsewhere all or nothing vaxxes I am in Indiana. But, what happens when you DO vaccinate 'blindly' at the beginning and then see a reaction, (my son has epilepsy now) so you don't wish to continue? And I also don't want to continue with my other partially vaxxed son who was vaxxed up until we saw our older son's reaction, and good thing I don't have to worry about my 3rd child as we were WISE by then and did not vax him at all! But, are there exemptions in this case, minus the medical one because his epileptologist still thinks he should receive some vaxxes, and we disagree.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 But don't we have the freedom to change our religion at any time? Meaning, you could get a religious exemption, then change your religion and believe in vax again, then change back later to not believe in them again, right? ) ~ mom to Gavin ~ 07.09.05 ~ 10 Months Old (can somebody slow him down?!?) ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com ~ KUSTOMIZED KIDS ~ http://www.cafepress.com/kustomizedkids Featuring Personalized Baby & Children's Clothing + Natural Parenting/Breastfeeding Advocacy Products FATHER'S DAY and JULY 4TH designs are up! ~ Visit Us on LiveJournal (ask to be my friend!) http://rachellucas6.livejournal.com : Illinois & elsewhere all or nothing vaxxes I am in Indiana.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Couldn't you say that at such-and-such point in your life you got this religious conviction about it? That happens all the time w/ many other things. A person will become an adult and learn something they didn't necessarily know about growing up or get involved in a certain church, etc., and then they make changes in their life according to what they learn/are convicted of. I guess it would be different if after that certain point when you have a religious/philosophical conviction about it that you still proceeded to selectively vaccinate. Just my 2 cents. Don't know if that's a good " technical " way of looking at it. > > I am in Indiana.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I'm sure that you could (technically), but it would make argument/defending yourself much clearer and easier if there weren't so many changes. > > But don't we have the freedom to change our religion at any time?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Ok- that was what I had thought, but got confused somehow. Definitely no more vaccines for us! Thank you!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Somehow, though, my friend in Illinois said that her neighbor has kids in public school but they said " no " to the chicken pox vaccine. They're fully vaxed otherwise. Not sure how she pulled that one off. Sheri B. --------------------------------- New Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 As of 2002 the chicken pox vax is required for school attendance in Illinois. See: http://www.idph.state.il.us/public/hb/hbchikpx.htm Perhaps her children started school before this came into effect?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I was able to avoid the chicken pox vax for my 9-yr-old (who was vaxed otherwise...didn't know better then). He had the chicken pox at 1 yr. old and so they marked that he had immunity from the actual disease. Maybe her children had the pox at sometime??? > > Somehow, though, my friend in Illinois said that her neighbor has kids in public school but they said " no " to the chicken pox vaccine.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 You can claim an exemption against that one based on human embryo cells which is what the line of vaccines were developed on (I don't know if they contain it anymore, but in the beginning they did). > > Somehow, though, my friend in Illinois said that her neighbor has kids in public school but they said " no " to the chicken pox vaccine.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Of course! But, if you say that and later get a vaccine for your kid (because you privately want to partially vaccine) and they can track it they know you are not telling the truth. > > > > I am in Indiana.
