Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Before jumping to conclusions that you signed the AAP's warped version (a handful of doctors have drafted their own), I recommend simply asking your pediatrician's office for a copy of what you signed. Take it home and read it line by line. If you don't agree with it, type up your own drafted letter explaining why you don't agree with it. Maybe state that you were rushed into signing it, you were never given a copy, and you never had a chance to read it that day in its entirety. If nothing bad has happened and you signed it last year, I would not worry, but I would make a point to review it and make an addendum if need be. > > > > > > I have done selective/delayed/1 at a time vaccinations on my 3 yr > > old > > > DD and my 4 mo old has had none.
