Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hello everyone!! I really need some advice on how to handle a situation at my daughter's school. My daughter is in elementary school and I am pregnant. I do not vaccinate either of my two children. They sent home a letter today stating that the week of the 26th they will be offering and administering free flu mist vaccinations to all the students who are interested. I'm sure I do not need to tell any of you that the Flu Mist is a live vaccine that can shed for up to 2 weeks and that pregnant women should not be near it. I immediately called the principal and informed her of my situation. She said she will take to the assistant superintendent but that she thinks it should be ok to keep my daughter out of school that week due to the health concern. The only problem is that it can be shed for up to 2 weeks after and they are administering it all week long. I can't imagine keeping her out of school for 3 weeks. I am unsure what to do. Any advice?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
