Vaccine exemption/New York

[Guest guest]

I'm here in NY and you can't even get the kids into early intervention

services without the updated vaccinations. Most preschools won't even take

kids without the shots. We just had a big think a few weeks ago on our

local news about a child in preschool having the measles and not having the

vaccination. A woman in his dr's office caught it from him in the waiting

room. That'll mean the schools will be even stricter now.

Vaccine exemption/New York

I have a friend on another group who is trying to enroll her dd in

kindergarten without the chicken pox vaccine (she has all the others)

and is being told that there is NO way to get her admitted. I know

that's not true, but it's been a long time since I lived in NY. Anyone

in NY have success getting their child enrolled without vaccines? How?

Thanks!

I've heard of it being done, but don't know how.

The chicken pox vaccine is one I'll never understand

anyway...if you get it when you're a kid you're fine,

if you never caught it as a kid but woops live virus

vaccine floating around (Im pretty sure it is) then

you can get really sick...especially if germs love

you.

But you know, we can't have our own immune systems

work at all anymore...

I don't know NY's specific laws, but we use a religious exemption in

my state. 2 of my 3 girls have had chicken pox. I would suggest trying

to find someone with it and getting child exposed, then you've got

medical proof there is no need. I'm hoping my 3 yr old will contract

it before long, seems to be easier when they're young.

NY does have religious exemption laws, and she tried that, but they

told her that her religion doesn't " qualify. " She doesn't know how they

even know her religion or her beliefs, but they are requesting some

type of proof. Which she found has been called unconstitutional in

other states by the supreme court, but doesn't really want to go that

far.

Good idea about her actually catching the chicken pox! My son had it

really young too, so he never needed the vaccine either.

This would have been a problem for me so I am glad they didn't have chicken

pox vaccines when I was going to school. I am a rare case.I am naturally

immune. My doctor discovered this when I was pregnant with my daughter.

Since I had been exposed to chicken pox several times and never contracted

they were worried I would get it while pregnant. A test concluded I was

naturally immune. In this kind of a case, I wonder what they would do

today?

I think you would qualify for a medical exemption. I believe all 50 states

have them.

If you're immune, and they can prove it with a test, then you don't

have to get the shot. My son had chicken pox when he was 8 months

old (caught it from a kid in daycare who had gotten the vaccine and

then passed it along to 6 other kids.) so he doesn't need to have

the vaccine. They can do a titer test instead.
