Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Anyone know why people are so concerned to make sure kids are all up-to-date with every vaccine required before the kids can be allowed to participate in something, as opposed to adults who are rarely asked to show proof? Is it mainly because people think once you're vaccinated you're vaccinated forever? > > Our oldest, 8yo vaxed up to 4yo, is going to camp for the first time > this summer and they've asked for a health form including vaccines.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Yes, I would leave the vax part blank and only fill in the religious exemption part. Any partial vaxes will only confuse them, and won't be enough to satisfy them anyway. I'm surprised they're asking you to fill it in. Generally that gets filled out by a doctor. The camp is giving you the religious exemption form so clearly would not be surprised if someone uses it. I have never been offered an exemption form from a camp before and still was able to use an exemption form. So, you should have no problem. Just act surprised if they bring it up. You ARE a paying customer. I doubt they would want to lose the business. Winnie religious exemption?
