International Children and Immunizations

[Guest guest]

Actually, immigrants are required to pass strict immunization requirements

imposed by the INS before they even set foot in the U.S., and it is next to

impossible to get exemptions (unlike some state requirements, which can be

avoided with a note from the right doctor). There is no such requirement for

American adults, or kids not attending public schools, or kids who are able to

get exemptions from sympathetic doctors or for religious reasons. So a

community of immigrant children and their families are likely to be better

immunized than a similar community of non-immigrant Americans.
