Immunization exemption in Washington State???

[Guest guest]

They cannot make a distinction from grade school to high school to daycare

center for infants or adults, or colleges or summer camps. This is just

because they high school is attempting to obtain some government funding for

some piece of equipment for the atheletic department or the wood or metal

shop or some science lab glassware. They need at least 90% complience of

the vaccine code for their school to qualify. You have to stand up for your

rights and not bend for anyone. Don't seem upset or worried. That is what

they want from you. Tell the school nurse to look into the law of the state

of Washington and read it thoroughly before attempting to reject your

exemption for your child. She will leave you alone. Make it also very

clear that you will make others in the school aware of her harassment of you

in this concern. She will certainly think twice about it before bothering

you again.
