Some California schools are turning away middle and high school students who have not received a required whooping cough vaccine while others are defying a law passed last year after a historic spike in cases of the potentially fatal disease.
The law approved last September initially required all students entering grades seven through 12 to get vaccinated by the start of the 2011-2012 school year.
Lawmakers passed a 30-day extension this summer as districts worried many students wouldn't meet the deadline.

That’s my main reason of support. Illegals are also bringing back TB, Diptheria, all other sorts and there is no reason that we should be careless. It’s such a pity, since if we didn’t have to deal with these illegals, there wouldn’t be this need for schools to take these drastic steps.
the thing is, that the people coming in are from Mexico and are bypassing the screening and the regulators. The people who were on Ellis Island were here to make an honest life and an honest living.
That is a truth...My oldest kid use to get the disease first...be in chicken pox, measles or mumps...Then the second would get it and on down the line, since all my kids were born within 7 years....Mumps is the only thing that can be a problem for men that get it as adults...
It would take several weeks for each childhood disease to work its way down the line of kids....
Can one say Cabin Fever by the time they were all done...:O) German measles is dangerous for pregnant women as it can cross the placental barrier but otherwise, its nothing much...The important immunizations are the P. T. W. and polio. It was amazing when my DIL told me how many shots her kids had to get. What is with having a baby need a Hepatitis shot....The chances are small to none that a baby gets that.
We today don't see the large scale problems that certain diseases cause, that today mean just a 10 day penicillin routine...My daughter got scarlet fever that send me into great worry, but the doctor said don't worry, the penicillin will take care of it....in my day it was a possible death sentence....
I have spoken up on several Gardisil threads because of the side effects of any medication, and sexually transmitted disease don't effect the other 12 year old sitting next to a possible disease based on the action of another years down the road...many disagree with me, but a noncommunicable problem, to me is no reason to vaccinate a child....
Again, I am sad that your family member was one that got the severe reaction. Heart breaking to the parent that says to themselves...."what if I hadn't done that" :O(
Thanks.
I think that often, because my son had a severe reaction to a DPT shot, too, and has all kinds of problems. My girls are fine, and they never got the shot. It’s hard to live with the possibility that you did something that ruined your child for
life.
An interesting article:
All a parent can do is what they think best, and you did what you thought was best...forgive yourself and love your children (as I know you already do) GG
CA requires that kids get all the 60+ vaccinations throughout at least grade school and many just get the form allowing you to say NO.
