Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 ALL states have a medical exemption. The tough part is finding a doctor to agree (even if your child has a reaction in front of them), but they are out there. Religious exemptions exist in most states (not in Mississippi or West Virginia), but each state has a different thing they accept, some will only accept it if you get a church official to say that it is against the religion AND you belong to the church, some are not that strict with the religious part. Some states have a personal or philosophical exemption (not in Texas, though). Vaccines are NOT mandatory regardless of what they say, you can get around them. If you need help composing a religious exemption if you don't have a doc for a medical one, I *might* be able to help. Check with your state health dept. and find out what exactly the laws are in your state regarding the exemptions, then check back either with me or the list. I am sure I am not the only one willing to help you with this. Tana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Hello Kencol: Here is a great site that will walk you through getting the exemption that you need for your children: http://www.access1.net/via/STATES/howto.htm I just have to add this one thought If the vaccines are so darn effective then why does the CDC worry about children who are not vaccinated. Those who are (vaccinated) should not have a worry and those who aren't, know it and should be prepared. It just doesn't make sense to me unless there is some other issue driving the need for vaccination, such as corporate profits. In Christ's love and mine...Jen : ) On Thu, 20 Dec 2001 22:53:26 -0600 " kencol " <kencol@...> writes: Dear listmates, it is almost my son's fourth birthday and in the state of texas that means it is time for more vaccinations.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 The mechanism that makes it mandatory is tying it to school admission, a few social service people will even threaten file child deflect or such charges. Talk about misguided busy bodies! The way around a lot of these violations to our freedoms and personal liberties is home schooling. C. W. [ ] it's time again ALL states have a medical exemption.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 You can ask for titers. This is a blood draw which they can check for immunity to those disease for qhich they would vaccinate. Get the titers results in writing. Any doctor's office or clinic should be able to do them.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 You live in a state that has medical exemtpions, only two state in the US can you not vaccinate, one is Mississippi I know I live here and it took a civil right attorney for me to win my case. I had done everything to the letter of the law, but because my medical request wasn't one that the CDC considers valid, it didnot hold up. Believe me any state is easier that this unless you are in WV. Now go to the local health dept and get the required form, have you doctor sign it and fill out why you need a medical exemption, return it to the health dept, and it will be approved by a local person or passed one notch up for approval. Look up you state laws asn requirements at www.909shot.com and know you rights. stick to your guns over this and yes you can get a civil right attorney no cost if needed, but you shound't in Texas. good luck [ ] Re: it's time again > > > Dear listmates, it is almost my son's fourth birthday and in the > state of texas that means it is time for more vaccinations.

This is a high volume list, and seems to include a lot of mail on topics involved with deciding not to vaccinate. There is a woman who moderates or runs the list (who is a health professional of some sort--- sorry I'm being lazy here and not looking up her name, website and credentials) --- I have not looked at her website, but she seems (based on comments) to have accumulated a lot of info on topics relating to vaccines and avoiding them. This might be worth looking into further as a source of info. regards, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 If you sign a waiver for a philosophical or religious objection to vaccination, he can go. The only time he can NOT go is during an active outbreak of the disease he isn't vaccinated against. If you have the titer test AND IT IS HIGH ENOUGH (it won't necessarily be) then he can go even then. But he can go most of the time if you simply sign the waiver.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2001 Report Share Posted December 26, 2001 If you live in the DFW area, I know of a doctor who would probably write you a medical exemption after seeing your child. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
