[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got pertussis from a "delayed vaccination" child while I was pregnant. I'm thrilled with the parent's choice to inflict her do-what's-best-for-ME policies on me and my unborn child.

And just so you don't think I'm insensitive to the issue: I had severe reactions to vaccines which landed me in the hospital on several occasions as a child. I had great trepidation about vaccines as a result. In the end I just did my homework. Not having my child or my friends' children die from measles, contract polio, or end up in the emergency room with pertussis stopped my mental wrangling. Given my recent experience with pertussis I'm very firmly on the side of the health codes in DC. If you were at my school I would register a formal complaint, and potentially even leave the school.

As PP said, all of this is centrally registered. First it is screened by the school nurse and then it is sent to the Dept of Health. DC is not big on waivers, either.[/quote]

I'm confused at to what you would be filing a report to.  A child's medical records and history are none of your business.  So, if my child has a reaction to food you sent to the school accidentally, should I file and potentially have your child removed.   Based on your logic, all allergens should be removed from the school too as it is potentially hazardous to my child.  We've had several reactions with ER visits from inconsiderate people who feel the need to touch other people's children after eating and not washing their hands.  Perhaps, not hand washing is something to report too?  Mind your own business and allow parents to do what is best for their child.[/quote]
