Waivers

Paul is supposed to turn in his immunization record to the college. He is also supposed to get an updated tetanus shot. After the reaction Maggie had to her last tetanus vaccine, we are very very leery of getting those again ... unless we end up putting ourselves in a situation (like overseas) where there might be a risk of contracting tetanus. So today we were doing some online research and discovered Vaccination Liberation. I do not agree with everything on their page, but they do have a lot of links to state laws, to exemption forms, and to reported complications from vaccines.

If a person were to click on their state abbreviation (oh, say, "Indiana," for example) there would be pertinent laws listed, as well as a model letter for a birth plan which includes avoidance of immediate vaccination for hepatitis, vitamin K shots, and silver nitrate in the baby's eyes. Although this website wouldn't have everything you need to know about the subject, it would at least prove a starting point.
