[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why does choosing not to put something into my body that it doesn't need make me crazy? I've worked with infants for 10 years and never had a family ask me to be vaccinated for anything. If they had, I would have refused and dealt with the consequences. My body, my choice, not really your place to judge. [/quote]

I hope you are upfront with any family during the interview that you are anti vax. I find it surprising families would hire you if they knew.

Most professions that involve working with children have some requirements for vaccinations. It is irresponsible to be anti vaccination. Full stop. I'm not going to argue with you about it PP because there really is no validity to your position. [/quote]

I always am.  I was also upfront about it when I was a kindergarten teacher.  My mother is a pediatric nurse at one of the best children's hospitals in the country and even she doesn't get the vaccine. My position is perfectly valid, it concerns my body, therefore it is my decision...so far, it's never been an issue.[/quote]

I find that hard to believe about your mother. Most hospitals want all employees to have gotten Tdap, or those working with children at the very least...

"According to the newest ACIP recommendations, which healthcare workers should be vaccinated against pertussis with tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine?

ACIP recommends the following for the use of Tdap in healthcare personnel:

•All healthcare personnel (HCP), regardless of age, should receive a single dose of Tdap as soon as feasible if they have not previously received Tdap 
and regardless of the time since last Td dose.
•Tdap is not currently licensed for multiple administrations. After receipt of Tdap, HCP should receive routine booster immunization against tetanus 
and diphtheria according to previously published guidelines.
•Hospitals and ambulatory-care facilities should provide Tdap for HCP and use approaches that maximize vaccination rates (e.g., education about the 
benefits of vaccination, convenient access, and the provision of Tdap at no charge).

To view this and other recommendations for healthcare personnel, go to CDC. Immunization of Health-Care Personnel. MMWR 2011;60(No. SS-7):4-46 at www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pdf/rr/rr6007.pdf."[/quote]
