[quote=Anonymous]Realistically, there's a limit on what you can do, because unless you're a shut-in you can't expect to avoid unvaccinated kids at school, the playground, other kids' parties, etc. The only context in which I had that rule was that we had a playgroup where one of the younger siblings was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect at birth and had to have several surgeries that delayed all of her vaxes and made her more susceptible to illness (and created bigger risk if she did get the flu or something). To make her feel safe in the playgroup, the other co-founder and I put a vax rule into effect, that every child had to be current on vaxes up to the standard schedule, and had to get the flu shot asap in the fall. There was only one family in the group at the time that it significantly affected (they were doing a delayed vax schedule, and we gave a little leeway there when she agreed to accelerate the catch-up), the rest of us just had to be more diligent about getting our flu shots early. It did keep a couple of other families from joining the playgroup, though, because they didn't want to comply with the vax rule.[/quote]
