Vacines

[Joan Pandas Mom]

I was told to avoid any unnecessary vaccines. I realize the flu vaccines but what else should I avoid. What about tetanus? Do I just get a note from pedi or is there more to it for school? Sorry to be so stupid here.

I'm going to be researching this so if I find out, I'll post the answer. I'm thinking you get a form for exemption from your school to fill out. If it's a philosophical exemption, I don't think you need anything from your doctor. If you got a medical exemption, then you probably get something from the ped. www.nvic.org has lists of vaccines and you can read up on them including what reactions have been noted.

Thanks Vickie. That helps.

Requirements can vary from state to state. You can check guidelines with your state Department of Health & Human Services.
