Re: Strange big-brother-type stuff in PA

In some states your child is registered at birth, with or without vaxes.

I'd find out if she was registered at all and opt out.

I live in Illinois. When my first daughter was born in 2004, I

received the Hallmark card. I think it was from our govenor, but I

can't remember for sure. I didn't get one when my baby was born

this year. At least not yet.

I got one, in Michigan, I can't remember which baby it was sent for, Colin is 7

and Jack is 4. I don't think that I got them for both. It was probably for

Colin, he was born in a hospital, while Jack was born at home.

Virginia doesn't seem to care about my son either... in fact, I had to

send away for his birth certificate and forgot for almost 6 months.

Must be a Pa. thing. How clever of them to use a kind gesture like that to also

meddle and put pressure on the parents from the get go. And then you have

Hallmark joining forces...how disgusting! I'm still trying to get over UNICEF

teaming up with Pampers for God sake!....Anita

There is a system here in FL that tracks shot records. They do however offer an

opt out, which we did (but I'm wondering if that can flag them even more). But

even if we didn't opt out, our pediatrician doesn't participate in the program,

so even if our son got shots, it wouldn't show up in the records. I think the

whole thing is weird.
