Like you Toni, I waited until Ella was well to get all immunisations.. which sometimes meant having to delay them a few weeks if she had a cold.

I know that creche's ask to see the immunisation cert.. so maybe schools do too.

Vick, yep that's what I was told when I had my kids enrolled at preschool.

As for the Norweigans using the vaccine only for a short time, I read that that was because the epidemic settled very soon after that. But now they are testing most of those people, now as young adults, for chronic fatigue.

The ACC claims... yea that's not many and they didn't sound too serious.

I know daycares ask for the cert as well as I have had to provide it to Andrew's daycare 3 times now (as they update their records every year). I just remember my mum saying something to me about schools wanting the cert for some reason but can't remember now.

Like I posted under July Mummys thread, Caitlin had another reaction to her jabs (a mild one tho).
So next lot of jabs will be done under Hospital day stay, just in case.

The specialist said that people who have any reaction to the jabs would be even more sick if they got the actual illness, hence our decision to continue to immunise (hope my nerves hold out tho! )

Schools require he immunisation certificate for on file, and parents do sign something if you choose not to immunise. It is just for those very few times there is a break out of a communicable disease.

Toni, I hope Caitlin's reaction with the second shot isn't too bad - it must be hard going through it. We had 2 kids react to the first shots (luckily both were done at the docotrs rather than at school as that would ahve been scary!) I think only one went on to complete the course through the hospital.
