Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Hi I live in Mass and my girlfriend is going through the same dilemma as you right now. Her daughter 3yo who just got DX with PDD-NOS ( has also a 5 1/2yo Pdd-NOS ) started ABA and the school told her NO SHOTS NO SCHOOL. She just bit the bullet and had the Measels done only ( had to pay out of pocket because Fallon wouldn't cover it ). Her daughter had diarrhea and was screaming uncontrollable most of the day until she fell asleep from exhaustion. As far as I know you just have to fill out the religious form and hand it into the school. Personally I don't know anyone who went this route in Mass so you might want to consult an advocate or lawyer. I have a copy somewhere of the religious exempt form that you print up and fill in the blanks if you would like I could hunt it down and E-mail it. Hugs, Terry P.S. Have you joined the class action law suit in Mass? There is about 200 families so far and we are suing ( sp? ) the makers of vaccines for the leathel levels of mercury that were put into the vaccines then into our childrens body.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Hi - I live in MA too and although my son is 12 y.o. I was able to get our pediatrician to write a letter stating that it is medically necessary to avoid any vaccines at this time until he is stable and healthy enought to recieve them. He is due for Hep B and Chicken Pox and I have been able to avoid this for the past 3 yrs. You might want to get titers tested - this helped us avoid an MMR and we had him include this on the letter also. We have to do it every year but it seems that there is finally a bit of awareness or they are not as quite as sure or adament about this as they used to be. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 Also a religious exemption, whether there really is or not may be an option if there are no others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
