ORIGINAL: yourdarkdesire Aylee - there is a vaccination against chicken pox. Not only does it keep your kidlet from getting it, it protects her classmates, which is as, if not more, important. She has had the Varicella vaccine. It was the idea that you would take your child to the doctor for chickenpox with no complications. I suppose that you could have a titer (sp?) test done for it. Butterhead and Roscoe's vaccines are up to date. In fact, they have had extra vaccines. RSV for Roscoe, and Butterhead got the rabies shots. Herd immunity is a good thing. It irritates me when parents do not vaccinate their children. quote:
ORIGINAL: soul2share So, they want you to take her to the doc's because she HAD chicken pox? Or because she hasn't? Proof of vaccine on the shot card OR documentation by the doctor that she had chickenpox's. No, she has never had chickenpox. quote:
And unless things have changed in 35 years, I thought once you got a childhood disease, you couldn't contract it again. Polio and smallpox were the big worries when I was a kid. Now it's my understanding that they barely exist anymore. Some people are susceptible to getting chickenpox more than once. quote:
Lord, I'm glad I don't have to do all that to get a kid into school. Heck, when I went, the only thing you had to do was get a few shots. The only time you needed a physical was if you were playing sports....and even then, it was just to make sure you had two of everything you should have and nothing extra. Sounds like a huge pain in the tookus now. Yeah, I did not realize that there would be all of this rigmarole. But, she is enjoying pre-school and next month they have a field trip to the Topeka Zoo. I think that she will really like that. quote:
ORIGINAL: DesFIP Aylee, I think they want proof she's been vaccinated against it. The pediatrician will know, they do tons of these exams. They want to make sure the kid is healthy and they have a doctor's note about any problems. You obviously are trustworthy to tell them if she had a peanut allergy but there are lots of stupid people in this world. Thanks! After talking with a friend of mine who has her son in a different school district, it looks like I am making out well with everything. Another plus is that Butterhead will have a Friend at the same elementary school. She will be in first grade while Butterhead is in Kindergarten, but there will be someone that she knows. YAY!
