Re: Re: 500 classes cancelled at Uni because students refuse vaccination and AVN mentioned in 24Medica

[Guest guest]

I just looked up the college website. They claim that students cannot afford the vaccine. Is that the reason or is it a matter of refusal? They also claim the number to be 600. From what I could tell they were allowing exemptions for consciencious objectors.

I live in Austin and I have not seen any media coverage on this. In fact, we were considering signing my son up for a class at ACC (he's still in high school) and I was surprised how often the meningitis vaccine was brought up as a requirement to take any classes. I was having my doubts that my exemption that we have used for the last 14 years was going to work.

By the way, I believe this is a requirement that was passed by the Texas legislature as I believe all Texas colleges/universities require the meningitis vaccine.

About a year ago my sister was telling me the story about a young woman from their area who was suffering from some bizarre health symptoms -- and it was concluded that something was eating away at her brain! She was a freshman in college. And it dawned on me -- the meningitis vaccine! Did that have something to do with this young woman's health problems -- what else would explain such a horrible thing!

Check TX law here: (http://www.nvic.org/Vaccine-Laws/state-vaccine-requirements/texas.aspx)

Usually it's required only if you live on campus because of the supposed risk of living in close quarters, although an exemption should work there anyway. I can't imagine they'd require it for a high school student to take one class. Do they require it of instructors?? Visitors to check the school out? Maintenance crews? No.

[Guest guest]

If my memory serves me correctly there were plenty of 'low cost' clinics for the shot. There was also some hub bub on the news about a fear of shortages. Jenna Forbes"SuperMommy" From: Vicki Geraci <vicki.geraci@...> To:

"Vaccinations " <Vaccinations > Sent: Monday, May 28, 2012 10:44 AM Subject: Re: Re: 500 classes cancelled at Uni because students refuse vaccination and AVN mentioned in 24Medica

I just looked up the college website. They claim that students cannot afford the vaccine. Is that the reason or is it a matter of refusal? They also claim the number to be 600. From what I could tell they were allowing exemptions for consciencious objectors.

I live in Austin and I have not seen any media coverage on this. In fact, we were considering signing my son up for a class at ACC (he's still in high school) and I was surprised how often the meningitis vaccine was brought up as a requirement to take any classes. I was having my doubts that my exemption that we have used for the last 14 years was going to work.

By the way, I believe this is a requirement that was passed by the Texas legislature as I believe all Texas colleges/universities require the meningitis vaccine.

About a year ago my sister was telling me the story about a young woman from their area who was suffering from some bizarre health symptoms -- and it was concluded that something was eating away at her brain! She was a freshman in college. And it dawned on me -- the meningitis vaccine! Did that have something to do with this young woman's health problems -- what else would explain such a horrible thing!
