Advice needed on GPs and Vaccinations

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Over the past couple of months, I have been sent numerous reminders

from my GPs surgery about bringing my son in for his routine

vaccinations (pre school boosters etc). My son is 5yo.

I have just ignored these reminders. Purely because of starting

biomed 2 years ago and reading up on all the info on vaccines both on

this list and on the internet.

Basically, I feel my son's immune system has been compromised enough

prior to starting biomed, with all the other early years vaccines

that our child are forced to take. His last vaccine was the MMR

vaccine which he had administered singly by a private doctor a couple

of years ago. I swore then I would never let any of my children have

any more vaccines.

Anyway, I decided to write to our GPs Surgery, informing them of my

concerns about vaccines and that my son last vaccinations had been

done privately. A reply letter from the GP is now asking for dates

when these vaccines were given, the type of vaccination given (the

brand) and the batch number (sometimes called the lot number) of the

vaccine. All so that they can keep my son's records complete and up

to date. And if I wish to talk to them about my son's vaccinations

at any time, to please arrange an appointment with a doctor.

Does a GP have any rights to ask for information on treatment done

privately? Any useful links would also be appreciately before I

reply back to this letter.

No he won't have any right -- what conceivable right could he have? I

would write back politely and ask him why he wants to know. On the one

hand he is your GP, you might as well find another if you don't trust

him, on the other hand this is a peculiar and intrusive letter. Ask him

politely why he wants to know. Maybe they are worried that these

vaccinations will prove to have been dangerous and want to prove that

they didn't give them. Maybe as long as your child has been vaccinated

by someone then the GP practice can claim a higher rate of vaccination

and therefore more money. Ask him.

All so that they can keep my son's records complete and up to date. And if I wish to talk to them about my son's vaccinations at any time, to please arrange an appointment with a doctor.Does a GP have any rights to ask for information on treatment done privately? Any useful links would also be appreciately before I reply back to this letter.

>>The reason he asks is because they need the information on the computer to be paid his target payments. The target dates are 2 last birthday and 5 last birthday and only between those time frames do they get their target payment.

Once your son is a 6 last birthday kid you'll never hear from then again because financially his time is over.

I would just write and say he is not having any PSB, he has immune system and possible mitrocondrial dysfunction (find out how to spell it first lol) and therefore further imms are contraidicated.

What does PSB mean Mandi? Not heard of that before, perhaps I have not been paying attention. Good info to know about vaccination payments though - I am going to keep an eye on that one.

>>Sorry, pre school booster. More abbreviations in general practice than there is here. At least this one isn't latin lol

This may sound a little threatening becuase many of us are used to

feeling criticized for bio-med approach and attitude. The reality

may just be that they do want to complete the record, if for no other

reason than GP are the main record-keeprs and gate-keepers for

healthcare in this country. Wanting the specific details is not

unusual, after all that is the kind of detail they keep (or should

do) about the vaccination they give. It is also the detail many of

us ask for from the GPs when we begin to look into issues for our

children.

There will be an expectation that health professionals continue to

promote vaccinations. If parents refused vaccinations, then there

will still be a periodic attempt to get them to re-consider, perhaps

thinking that as kids get older parents may be more willing and see

it as less risky, or perhaps that parents will just eventually

succumb. For some parents, " no " means " not ever on your life " , but

for others it means " no, right now I don't feel that it is right, but

when he is older/healthier/I have more confidence in the vaccines -

well then maybe we will re-consider. "

If the professionals truly believe that the kids should have the

vaccinations, they may feel culpable if they do not chase up (and are

not seen to chase up) those children who they feel are being

left 'unprotected'.

I can understand you feeling sensitive about being asked, but I can

understand that the record should show details of anything injected

into your son's system, particularly as you feel it had a detrimental

effect on his health and well-being.

I may sound cool as a cucumber about this, but the reality is that I

still feel uncomfortable when I am challenged about my views by

professionals, I can get very hot under the collar and don't always

express my views very well at all. But sometimes, they are just

ticking the boxes, and it is not threatening at all. I don't know

your GP surgery staff, but it sounds like this could just be one of

those times. Hope you are not worrying too much about this.

Agree with Eva, no right whatsoever.

When i broached the subject of constant letters from my own son's

surgery about the reminder letters, i got a phone call from the

doctor saying if i did not want to vaccinate, he needed me to sign a

waiver stating my son was not to be vaccinated. Reason? to protect

him in the unlikely event my son caught a disease and blamed the doc

for not vaccinating.
