Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hi Parents, Hope you are doing well. I finally got my 16 year old NT daughter's blood results back. We were checking the Titers for MMR, Chicken pox and TB test. Turns out her Viral AB: Rubeola (Measles) shows Negative (means she has no evidence of IgG antibody). Stanford says she needs the Measles vaccine. The second Chicken pox Varicella Zoster AB IgG shows Negative (she has no evidence of IgG antibody). Stanford says she needs Chicken pox vaccine. In order to volunteer at Stanford or at any other Health clinic, you have to meet their prerequisites. Stanford has informed me that Merck has stopped making separate vaccines for MMR. Which means she has no choice but to take the entire MMR series. Is that true? Where do I get a separate vaccine for Measles (Rubeola scientific name)? IS MEASLES VACCINE SAFE (where can I find thimersol free and as a separate vaccine)? What about Chicken pox? She needs two series. After the 1st one is given the clinic separates the 2nd dose by 28 days. I'm not sure what to do next? Who do I contact for further research? In addition, school wants the dTap vaccine? I'm even more confused now. Which vaccine should be AVOIDED AND WHICH ONE IS THE SAFEST ONE TO GET? My daughter is also v. interested in Pre-Med. What is my safest approach now? What are my options? Who do I contact? My pediatrian confirmed that there are no separate vaccines for MMR now. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!! Guide me.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'll put in my 2 cents for whatever it's worth. It's weird...I'm 39 and before I knew all about the dangers of vaccines, I'd been vaccinated to death. My mom was a strong believer in vaccines and had me vaccinated for everything under the sun. I'd also worked in a hospital before and been vaccinated for everything under the sun as a condition of employment there, too. When I had my first child, I was vaxed for MMR post delivery (I was so stupid then, I hadn't a clue about how horrible vaccines were) because my bloodwork during my first pregnancy showed I had not antibodies for rubella. When I got pregnant again 9 months after, the prenatal bloodwork showed I again had no rubella antibodies. The OB was puzzled, she had ordered a vax to be given to me after I delivered my first child and I had gotten it. She was puzzled about why I didn't show any antibodies. I'd been vaccinated for measles at least 6 times that I can count (not even counting vaccinations before I could remember when I was a child). I don't have antibodies to the same two things that your daughter doesn't have antibodies to, no matter how much I'd been vaxed for it. I really regret having the vaxes because I believe they contributed to making both of my children autistic. Yes, I believe there is mercury in the vaccines but I also believe that I have an atypical immune system. I've had chicken pox twice as a child and I may have even been vaxed for it as a child. I still develop shingles each time I come into contact with chicken pox. Not only do I think the mercury in vaccines are bad. But I think there are other people like me out there who do not develop an immunity for these things. So not only is the preservative bad, the exposure to this stuff in our bodies (i.e. for people like me who don't have a typical immune system) allows the stuff to remain in our bodies because our immune systems aren't interacting with the viruses in the vaccines the same way and I think that this crap is hanging around in my system. Vaxing her is not going to give her the antibodies. I vote for steering clear of the vaxes, not only because of the mercury but because I think some people's immune system will not react to having something like this being injected into them and the system never really gets rid of it via this method of exposure. I would go for religious exemption, too.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Can you get an exemption from vaccines if you are wanting to go to college or med school? Or are there none allowed?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 My college son has had minimal vaccines - DPT and polio as infant + booster for elementary school + one MMR. He had no trouble w college requirements-took an exemption allowed in our state. On the other hand, a friend who was enrolled in a nurse practitioner program in another area, experienced extreme pressure to get current on all and to get a yearly flu update-mom of a child on sprectrum w immune problems herself. She had a medical and a religious exc documented. Neither would suffice. Eventually enough folks challenged the school about the flu vac that they relented. In our area, titers or aging out seem to be the only way to avoid the requirement for MMR. Health professions seem bent on 'making' all practicing get those vaccines. As Cave says in her book, 90% get immune response w the first vaccine, approx 5% w the second. Of the remaining 5% some never do. All three of the MMR diseases went through the population when I was a child and when my children were growing. For the most part, these are inconvenient for parents and children - probabaly less stressful that the constant throat/ear infections that are currently prevalent. Certainly far less devastating than the number of vaccine damaged children that make up most of the 20% of special needs children in our school district. > > > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> Hi Parents, > >> > >> Hope you are doing well. > >> > >> I finally got my 16 year old NT daughter's blood results back.
