[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just signed the religious waiver and it was no big deal but we were spacing them out over a few months, not years.[/quote]

So you signed the religious waiver even though you were getting most vaccines, just not on the schedule?[/quote]

We got all the vaccines and are now up to date - the only one I significantly delayed was the chicken pox and since we had no exposure and I was not going to a Pox party, we did that one a few years later (before 5).  I preferred the natural immunity but that's very hard now with the shot available.

Technically most would view us on schedule.  But, we were not because we would limit two shots per visit and spread them out every 6-8 weeks (doctors said that spread/picked what shots - we did not walk in with our own schedule). Last shot round we needed 5 or 6 shots - I forget.   We have a October birthday, so we have to do the physical in August and go back in October if anything else is needed, like shots.  So, if an auditor comes and we only have 2 out of the 6 missing shots, the school can receive an inspection violation as the inspector does not care why or what the plan is, they just care its done.  If we sign the waiver, it keeps the school from failing the inspection because of our shot records.  We just keep bringing them updated shot records every time we get shots and when we are caught up, that overrides the waiver.  The last two schools (current and previous) had no issue with us doing it given our reasons why.  We were at one school prior that I was not happy with and they gave me a hard time about it and I basically had to tell them to mind their own business as it was another teacher doing paperwork (thankfully not my child's) and the director had previously ok'ed it.  (my kid was 2, so you aren't talking a huge amount missing).

We only significantly delayed one shot - the Chicken Pox but eventually got that one too.

We had really bad fevering and other issues that required a hospital stay so after that, slowing them down was our only option and that worked for us.[/quote]

Good lord, you sound incredibly annoying. "Fevering"? You mean fever? Which is a normal, common side effect for vaccines?

And, unless you're the queen of England, you might want to refer to your child as "he" or "she" and yourself as "I" and drop the "we" nonsense.[/quote]

The majority of kids handle vaccines fine but there are a small number that do not.  I am not talking about normal fevering.  It was high for multiple days = 104+ and my child was hospitalized for several days until they could bring it down.  You are incredibly annoying to assume that there are no issues with vaccines and they are perfectly safe.  Any time you put a unknown substance you are risking a reaction especially if the product was not made properly, which happens per recalls.[/quote]
