Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Depending on where you live, I would go with religious exemption. Every state is different. Maggie From: Vaccinations [mailto:Vaccinations ] On Behalf Of Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 1:43 PMVaccinations Subject: further mandatory tetanus Thanks for all your responses on this matter. My husband has now asked the company if there is a way out of it and they said it is mandatory however, if he could provide the reason for not wanting it then they will take it to their medics and see what they say.What should he say to them besides we don't believe it is safe? We are also trying to get pregnant right now, which is another reason I don't want him to have it. We need to get the response to them today, so if anyone can help with a response they can't refuse, please help.ThanksNo virus found in this message.Checked by AVG - www.avg.comVersion: 2012.0.1901 / Virus Database: 2109/4708 - Release Date: 12/28/11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 why do they care if he gets tetanus vaccine - he should be able to just sign a waiver tetanus is not contagious so he is not protecting others by getting it, only himself Sheri At 10:42 AM 12/28/2011, you wrote: >Thanks for all your responses on this matter.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 there are not exemptions from work situations- you can try it as they might not know, but there is no law protecting him Sheri At 10:45 AM 12/28/2011, you wrote: Depending on where you live, I would go with religious exemption.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I would be very firm. Present this package insert: (http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM164127.pdf) and point out first that the vaccine includes diphtheria. Are they also requiring protection from diphtheria? Is so, why not all the other vaccines that exist? He should not be required to get one thing that includes another entirely different substance. Second, there is mercury in it. Everyone now knows the dangers of mercury. Ditto the formaldehyde in it. Third, under "Precautions" it mentions the possibility of an acute anaphylactic reaction. Surely one has the right not to take that risk. See here: (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/downloads/vis-td-tdap.pdf) where it states that anyone who has had a severe allergy to a component of the vaccine should not get it. Find something to be allergic to (mercury??). It also states that a severe allergic reaction can occur after any vaccine. Fourth, as Sheri mentioned, tetanus is not a communicable disease and no one's problem but his if he gets tetanus. Offer to sign a waiver relieving them of responsibility should this happen.
