Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I just got off the phone with a nurse from my doctor's office who made me so angry, she told me that drawing blood from a nearly 3 year old is " very difficult " and basically wanted me to just go ahead and give my child the MMR booster instead. Thanks to this group, I feel more informed and no longer intimidated by doctors and nurses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 This just happened to a friend of mine. Her daughter is 5 and I told her about the titers test and to do that first. The nurse said it's better to just give the shot, since she may need it anyway. My friend didn't back down and asked for the doctor, who agreed to the test. I actually got an appt for my daughter next week a physical for school (she's 5). Last yeat at 4, they were offering the Hep A. I said no and the dr. accepted that, hopefully they don't " offer " us any next time.... > > I just got off the phone with a nurse from my doctor's office who made > me so angry, she told me that drawing blood from a nearly 3 year old > is " very difficult " and basically wanted me to just go ahead and give > my child the MMR booster instead.

I just spoke with my friend who is 31 years old and is going to college in sep. to get a bachelor degree. They asked her to bring in all her vaccination shots before classes start but she said that she doesn't have copies and there is no way she can find them as it's been many years since. They said that she can go to a physician and check blood for titers(antibodies) for all the diseases. She said that they did not mention getting vaccines yet, not that she is against vaccines anyway. I suggested to definitely do that first and to maybe do religious exemption if they insist on vaccinating her with some new vaccines.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 They will. Guaranteed. Remember, the whole point of the school physical is to get the vaccines done. They throw in an vision or hearing check once in a while, but it's really for vaccines. Think about it: what good does a checkup in the summer do if a child goes to school sick in January? It should only matter if they're healthy on any given day. The health form is nothing but a way to get your kids vaccinated. You sound prepared to deal with it, though. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think they're making that up. I don't believe any law states that you can check titers for all diseases to get out of vaccination. I could be wrong, but I know it's not true in CT. All that's required here for college is the measles, rubella and meningitis vaccines, and only the first two can be exempted with proof of disease--nothing about titers at the college level. Nice of them to offer, though.

Why even do a titer test? If it is low, are you going to vaccinate? Vaccines do not give immunity and the titer may be low. Why bother?

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Sheri, My children are partially vaccinated (and not a day goes by that I do not regret it). I wanted to get the titer test to get a sign off that they are immune because I read that 90% are immune and do not require the booster. If they are not immune I do NOT want them to get anymore shots. > > Why even do a titer test?

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 , I can't recall if you are talking about all vaccines or some. I don't think you can count on the state laws exempting all vaccines by a good titer test. I know in CT, they allow that for some but not all vaccines. Besides, even if the test comes back that they have antibodies, that's good for that day--no saying how long they would last. If you don't want them to get any more vaccines, just don't get them. What state are you in? Winnie Re: Titer test Vaccinations > Hi Sheri, > My children are partially vaccinated (and not a day goes by that > I do > not regret it).

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 You can opt out of vaccines using a religous exemption then, if you choose to.

I've read in the archives that once a person has been vaccinated, they don't matter. Am I reading this correctly? I have an almost 5 year old who was vaccinated until 1yo and a 9mo who is not vaccinated. the titers don't mean immunity after a vaccine - will send more info. Since they are both boys, my husband is concerned about mumps, because his uncle had it as a child. How accurate are those tests? If my boys' immunity is low, what do I do with this information? Could you please enlighten me? Again, if the titer is low it means nothing I wouldn't worry - I will send info that I share in my class on mumps Thanks for reading, Violet sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
