[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PP. you saying “against medical recommendations” gave me an idea- I have an call in to the pediatrician to see if their office has a formal statement/recommendation to vaccinate letter that whey could provide me with or if not- if he would put his recommendation in writing. That might help vs me just saying “what our pediatrician recommends”. Appreciate the help and level headed encouragement.[/quote]

PP here. To the extent that you can get a pediatrician's recommendation, that would be helpful. I hope you are also using the CDC's specific recommendations for vaccines:https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/adolescents.html

FWIW, I used to work with CPS, and for us, not vaccinating absent documented religious/philosophical objections was considered medical neglect. While I definitely do not recommend calling CPS for this, maybe it is helpful to understand what the child welfare system would see this as. Potentially framing it as medical neglect rather than a disagreement is a better strategy. Either way, I also think you should talk with your lawyer about it as however it shakes out will likely have lawyer involvement.[/quote]
