Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I would imagine with the questions your asking alot of it would have to to with what state this person lives in. I was horrified reading what happened how awful! Rights of child with severe allergies forced to get Flu shot Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here knows law regarding children with egg allergy. I have patient who's son has a severe egg allergy, among other severe allergies (for which I suspect his previous vaccines have played a large role) His preschool said they would not allow him in this year with out a flu shot, and he was forced to sit in his allergists office for four hrs, and take the shot in four small doses while they waited for reaction. He obviously did not have an exemption (religious or medical). I thought I remembered reading that if one has an egg allergy that they could be medically exempt from egg containing vaccines. This poor little guy has had a few bouts of anaphylactic shock that the Dr's term idiopathic (read unknown origin... but as we know it was likely brought on by the vax's) My question is 3 part: 1. What is the law on allergies /and vax containing allergic substance? 2. Can a flu vax be compulsory for preschool? 3. Does having previous vax's nullify any chance of religious exemption? I understand this may vary by state, they are in CT. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks so much!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Have they tried getting a medical exemption? I would think with a known egg allergy that would be possible. I cannot believe they would subject a child with a known allergy to these shots!! If not medical, I would get a religious one. I have read many cases where a child was partially vaxxed, then the parent got a religious exemption. I hope someone with CT experience can chime in - I'm in GA. I've used a religious exemption for my older (younger is still at home) without any issues in several places. Hope the child is okay...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 easy exemption in CT at present. How tragic they didn't know their rights and would encourage you to take an active role in letting people in your state know about exemptions ;-) http://www.ct.gov/dph/lib/dph/infectious_diseases/pdf%20forms%20 & %20newsletters/\ religious_exemption_form.pdf this is form they would sign - nothing more - no explanation needed nor should their be getting future vaxs could nullify it if the school knew here is the medical exemption form http://www.ct.gov/dph/lib/dph/infectious_diseases/pdf%20forms%20 & %20newsletters/\ religious_exemption_form.pdf to be signed by a doctor but better to take religious exemption Sheri listowner At 05:18 AM 3/22/2012, you wrote: >Hi everyone, >I'm hoping someone here knows law regarding children with egg >allergy.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi, Elissa, I'm in CT. Answer to Q1) State law doesn't address the reasons for a medical exemption, just that a doctor needs to sign a statement that "immunization is medically contraindicated because of the physical condition of such child." There's no law that requires a doctor to sign a medical exemption, if you can even get a doctor to admit a vaccine caused a reaction or that having an existing allergy is a risk. Unfortunately, wanting to avoid a reaction isn't generally enough. The child has to have had a bad reaction previously AND it usually is given for a particular vaccine or a specific ingredient that the doctor believes caused the problem (it's all guesswork anyway). Sometimes a doctor will give an exemption if a sibling had a reaction (my doc gave all my kids one for all vaccines based on my older's son's reaction to the MMR, although I use a religious exemption). 2) It look as if the flu vaccine is now required in CT. Several vaccines are listed in statute section 19a-79: (http://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap368a.htm#Sec19a-79.htm) and then it adds "and any other vaccine required by the schedule of active immunization adopted pursuant to section 19a-7f." Section 19a-7f states: " the recommended schedule for active immunization for normal infants and children published by the committee on infectious diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics or the schedule published by the National Immunization Practices Advisory Committee, as determined by the Commissioner of Public Health." I looked up the AAP recommendations and the flu vaccine is included. 3) Previous vaccination does not affect using a religious exemption. I've used one for years. You just can't get any afterwards. AND you don't need to mention it. I don't have any listed on my kids' health forms at all and our current ped doesn't have the old records showing some given. Does your patient still wants her child to get some vaccines?

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks so much for all the quick info!! I looked around online last night and had already sent her the link for the medical exemption, but will advise on using the religious one. I'm fairly certain that she does not want to assault his little system any further (he's asthmatic as well), although since he is 5yrs old, he has already received the full arsenal shots. I referred them to a great homeopath and sent them home with " Healing the new Childhood Epidemics, the 4 A disorders " by Bock, MD. The mom feels awful that she didn't know she had a choice A large part of my practice is pregnant women, so I'm fortunate to get to them early, but your right Sherri... I need to educate on a larger scale. I was thinking of starting vax safety talks in the office for our community. Thanks for the push! It's infuriating to think of putting a child through this, and just as infuriating to hear every other parent tell me about their child's neuro / developemental issues! I'm not surprised that there is a new shot for egg allergic... they have to capture every aspect of the market to hit their 2016 vax revenue projection of $52 billion (from the current $28 billion or so) It really pisses me off!! Thanks again, I really appreciate this group!! Elissa > > Hi, Elissa, > > I'm in CT.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 " The mom feels awful that she didn't know she had a choice " I would like to urge everyone to get involved in the legislative process at your local level. The above statement breaks my heart, and it's why we need to fight, not only for child and parental rights as it pertains to vaccines, but it needs to be the LAW that all parents are MADE AWARE they have a choice in vaccination! In Colorado there is now legislation that says every piece of info that goes out to a parent that discusses vaccines also states that a waiver can be filed in lieu of the vaccination records. That's minimal, and it should be more, but it's a start. Please, I urge you to get involved in letting parents know they DO have rights and a CHOICE (in most states)!

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I've met a lot of angry parents who found out about exemptions after the fact. It should be illegal to withhold that info. Check out the link to my local school and how easy it is to find exemption info now--it took a bit of work on my part: (http://www.litchfieldschools.org/) Anyone clicking on "immunization info"on the left is immediately given links to the forms. I think that's a great idea to give vaccine safety talks.
