multiple shots required for kindergarten

[Guest guest]

--

My autistic son will be entering a regular kindergarten class next

fall and requires DPT, polio, and MMR boosters. My wife and I are

afraid that the procedure might contaminate our son's system

(negatively impact process) because of the possible damaging

ingredients in the triple-shots.

Does anyone have advice on where we might go in Northern California

for single shots for DPT and MMR and where these could be covered by

insurance?

We went through this tough decision as well. We decided to get my son's

immune titers checked and it turned out he was already immune and did not

need shots at all. For us, we didn't feel the need to stress his immune

system further unnecessarily.

As far as the school went, we got a religious exemption, which avoided the

" mandatory " vaccinations.

We gave our youngest son single shots for MMR... we were required to order

the vials directly from the paharmacy and then take it to our pediatrician

to administer. We were recently told that the MMR is not being produced

separately anymore, however we were able to register our son by getting our

pediatrican to sign a " contra-indication " on his school form thus giving him

a waiver from any additional shots.

Hi ,

Have you had your son's titers for these checked yet? If not, I would do

that first. He may already be immune and not need the next round.

Good luck,

From your note, I presume Dr G is treating your child. Suggest you seek his

advice re splitting shots, or even getting your child exempt - immune

dysregulation may be a criteria for exemption.

That's good to know that Waverly will accept a waiver from shots. I just

signed my youngest up to be a mentor in the RECC program and she hasn't

had all her shots yet - actually, she only had the measles portion so now

it looks like she won't be able to get the mumps and rubella separately.

Any idea why they no longer sell it separately??

On another note, my son's special ed teacher keeps telling me about

people at school who are starting special diets for their kids and giving

out my name and number as a resource. Do you think there would be any

interest if I started a diet support group one evening a month? Recipe,

catalog, restaurant sharing ideas, etc.

I hope all is well with you and that we run into each other soon!
