Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi Winnie -- I can't say I was worried about DS getting Pertussis (partially vaxed due to a reaction to DPT) -- call me naive but I figured that if all the other kids were vaxed, he wouldn't/couldn't -- live and learn! In 9th grade he got Pertussis -- the only non vaxed kid in town to get it. So much for the protection from the vax for all those kids that were fully vaxed! Good luck with that new driver in your house. Yes, it's scary, and unfortunately it's no better when they go off to college -- I don't think I'll ever not worry!

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 College is next, and I'm thrilled he'll be going here in CT where I know the law very well. I have to say some not so small part of me worried about that while he applied to colleges in different states. When all that brouhaha over land force vaccinating was going on, I crossed those schools off the list! NY, too. So, when your son got Pertussis, did they culture it or just assume he had it?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi Winnie -- They cultured it, but felt it was a formality since we had an " outbreak " at the time. Where are you in CT? I'm in NY. DS college required no new vaxs, although I think they required MMR (which is one of the few he had). From what we were told, it depends more on the school than the state. Has he decided on a major?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi, . I'm in Litchfield. My son is going into music ed, which I am thrilled about although I didn't expect him to decide this soon. Anyway, I don't know about the requirements depending on the school rather than the state. Maybe it means how hard of a time they give you? They'd better not give me one. I don't want to have to get fierce! On another note, here's a little story for those who are wondering if their children are listening to our vaccine concerns. Understand that I am the head honcho of the family when it comes to health care, education and the multitudes of paperwork that go with that. My husband means well, but we don't completely trust his judgment ever since he took the dog to the vet for some minor problem and came home with all her booster shots because they said she was due!!! Well, my son is going on a school trip to Italy soon and a health form is required. Imagine my panic when he informed me that Dad filled it out and it was already handed in. I asked what they wrote on it and said son joked that they asked for him to be vaccinated with everything. Haha. Then he told me that they wrote the usual " no vaccines to be given, not even tetanus " and to authorize him to take arnica for any injuries, etc. I had no idea either of them knew I put that. There is hope for the future.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Exactly my thoughts I wouldn't intentionally expose to vaccine strain. Would that even give immunity to wild strain? Or maybe all that is out there is vaccine strain - who knows..........would have to do some digging Sheri At 12:19 AM 4/7/2008, you wrote: >If I knew a child had the wild strain, then I would most likely try >and get my child exposed.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi Winnie -- I'm in Mahopac NY, just west of Danbury, CT. It's nice to know your family is listening. My DD is going on her class trip to DC. They sent home the usual release form and asked about allergies and meds. I wrote " allergic to cough syrup " signed it, filled in the emergency contact info and sent it back -- they sent back to ask what brand of cough syrup is she allergic to -- I wrote back " All - do not give. " Then they send back, what about pain reliever/fever reducer -- I sent back a note that she hasn't had any in so many years I don't know. They make me nuts with this stuff! She's only going for 3 days -- you'd think she was going to the end of the Earth for a month!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I know, it's ridiculous. I mean, I understand they are trying to be responsible but this " we at least need to have authorization to give him Tylenol/Advil " ...geez, if they're in that much pain, they'd better be hospitalized to find out what serious injury they have! I have gotten some pretty fierce I'm About To Call the Men in White Jackets glares when I tell them I won't give painkillers to my kids, as I whip out my arnica instead. What's really strange is I was told that when the kids go to Italy, they can keep the Tylenol, etc. on them. So, they can't have pills on them in school (not a bad rule, mind you) but they can carry them freely when they're loose in another country?
