Unimmunized Students Pulled From Ravalli County

Schools

RAVALLI COUNTY

By Will Wadley

POSTED: 5:39 pm MDT April 23, 2012

MISSOULA, Mont. -- Ravalli County health officials dealing with an

unprecedented outbreak of pertussis banned all students with immunization

exemptions in the Corvallis and Victor school districts from attending

school until May 13.

Public Health Director Judy said any student who hasn't been

vaccinated for pertussis, whether it's for religious or health reasons,

will miss 21 days of school.

" Of course, the decisions you make aren't always popular,” said

. “We're trying to protect the general public, and we're trying to

protect those babies out there that have no way of being totally

immunized. "

said twenty-two cases of whooping cough have been confirmed in

Ravalli County, many of them students in the Corvallis and Victor school

districts.

Corvallis School District Superintendent Monte Silk said on Monday that

the plan is for teachers to prepare work for the unimmunized kids to take

home, and for them to make up any tests they miss when they return to

school on May 13.

Silk said he’s expecting plenty of feedback from parents who aren’t happy

with the decision.

" You can't be on school grounds, you can't come to school for 21

days. If you even get a shot tomorrow, you still have another 14 days to

wait,” said Silk. (Extra-curricular activities) are the fun part of

school. And when you're looking at sports and two state championships on

the line, it causes you to think a lot. "

Silk said parents can still trust their children won't fall behind.

" They should not worry unduly about the education of their child,

because the teachers and the administration will make sure we get them

their materials and resources to keep up with school, take their tests

when they come back. "

My thoughts, exactly! And that's what I replied to the article--it seems to me

that if they were all/mostly vaccinated who were sick, then the vaccinated kids

should be the ones sent home from school for 3 weeks. Or, whoever is afraid can

just stay home for 3 weeks. People were saying they would hold the unvaxed kid

responsible who made them sick. So I asked if they would hold a vaxed kid

responsible.

the comments are out of this world stupid arrogant!! Scary to think those same opinions are in people already elected. We’re fighting for our lives! If they’re so convinced that vaccines protect and prevent, then that the hell are they worried about?????

My post has to be approved by a moderator before being posted. We’ll see. I said there was so much stupidity and arrogance in all these posts. If vaccines work to prevent and protect, then what are you vaxxed people worried about. An unvaxxed person poses no threat Or something like that Nita, homeschooling mompreneur to 8 kids and 2 online web stores! for Moms and kids, prenatal to tweens: http://www.kneehigh2agrasshopper.com A tiscuit, a tasket, what a lovely gift basket: http://www.nitasbaskets.com I have to walk early in the morning,before my brain figures out what I'm doing...,___
