Not Vaccinated??

[Soupyszoo]

Do any of you accept dcks that are not vaccinated? I'm sure per starte regs it's required, right? Who watches the kids who's parents choose not to vaccinate?

I have a dcg who I suspect is not vaccinated. Two of my other family's are worried that their kids could be compromised. I'm in the process of getting licensed so when I took in my family's this wasn't something I considered. Yes, I've been learning A LOT since starting

My first thought was that the dcg who is not vaccinated would be the one in the most danger of catching something, but she could also be the one bringing in disease. Regardless, I know you cannot force anyone to vaccinate their kids, but it can be required to continue care, right?

I know when my kids ever went to daycare or even school it was required. So on a side note, who cares for the kids who are NOT vaccinated??

Btw there is no "disease" in my home. But I'd like to keep it that way, and keep all my families feeling safe having their kids here happyface

I do not accept kids who are not vaccinated. It's the parent's choice not to vaccinate and my choice not to accept them.

I accept children in my care who are not vaccinated - I don't ask why they don't vaccinate either, as it's none of my business... I only ask if they are or are not. Many Jehovah's Witnesses will not vaccinate, those who believe vacination can cause serious complications such as autism, etc will not vaccinate.

I made the choice to accept non-vaccinated children because I don't think I will vaccinate my child either. I am in Canada and legally unlicensed, so it's not required for my daycare if I don't want it to be.

The only major "disease" issues I have had are with chicken pox... and both cases were children who WERE vaccinated for it. ::

Being non vaccinated does not sentence them to getting the disease. It's a parental choice, and they can legally send their children to school without being vaccinated. IMO, the other parents have nothing to worry about, especially if their kids ARE vaccinated, because then they should be deemed "safe."

I would not be afraid to care for non vaccinated children. If any child starts showing symptoms of something questionable, I require a doctor's note before they can come back. No reason to worry otherwise.

I have two non-vaccinated kids. THEY are the ones at risk more so than the vaccinated kids IMHO.

I NEVER discuss who is and isn't vaccinated with parents so they have no idea who, if anyone, is or isn't. That is a confidential matter.

My 2 year old has been fully vaccinated (with the exception of the chicken pox vaccine...which he will not be getting.) My 6 week old has not been vaccinated and I may not have her vaccinated at all. It's our decision whether we do or not. I've never had daycare parents ask about my children's or other DC children's vaccine history. I'm sure they figure if their child is fully vacc'd that they are safe.

I only accept vaccinated kids. I have infants in my care they may not have had all shots because of their age therefore I need to make sure they are protected.

[Soupyszoo]

My vaccinated family's are worried and in not so many words said that dcbs could not come if unvaccinated dcg was here. They don't like unvaccinated dcgs mother so I'm thinking it's more of a personal vendetta against her. I would rather everyone just get along happyface

My first point, by not vaccinating it is placing the child who is not vaccinated at more risk than the child who is vaccinated. I see no problem caring for a child that is not vaccinated just be up to date on the signs and symptoms of most of these types of diseases.

My states rules are SUPER strict, all daycare providers HAVE to be licensed. All licensing is ran by the board of education so we have the same immunization requirements as the schools. To be able to enroll in any daycare or public/private school. You have to vaccinate unless you claim a religious exemption. But that is the only exemption they allow. I have had parents come and say i vaccinate all except the chicken pox or whatever. Not allowed, if you claim the religious exemption then you claim all immunizations. If you get some vaccinations you can't claim the religious exemption later. So here you can choose not to vaccinate or vaccinate only some but unless it is religious reasons you can't enroll in school or daycare.

Yep! I didn't bring it up, they brought it up to me. That's why I kind of think they are "fishing" for drama..

If you are confident in what your vaccinations are supposed to do, then why would you be worried?

In that case, any time the topic comes up I would cut them off immediatley and simply say "I do not discuss other families." and walk away.

Our kids have to be vaccinated except you can get an exemption... makes sense huh? It used to be the parents could get the form and sign it. Now they MUST go to the dr for the form and every time it is time for a vaccine they must discuss it with the dr again.

If they showed them the movie from the health dept most of those would be first in line to get vaccineated. It was as bad as those drivers ed films about not stopping for the train.

Vaccinations

My states rules are SUPER strict, all daycare providers HAVE to be licensed. All licensing is ran by the board of education so we have the same immunization requirements as the schools. To be able to enroll in any daycare or public/private school. You have to vaccinate unless you claim a religious exemption. But that is the only exemption they allow. I have had parents come and say i vaccinate all except the chicken pox or whatever. Not allowed, if you claim the religious exemption then you claim all immunizations. If you get some vaccinations you can't claim the religious exemption later. So here you can choose not to vaccinate or vaccinate only some but unless it is religious reasons you can't enroll in school or daycare.

My state also requires that all providers are licensed. Ours is run by the dept. of health and environment. The only way to get out of vaccinations if you want to send your child to a daycare, preschool, or school is to claim a religious exemption. You can't pick and choose though--exemption or all vaccinations. My surveyor said she argued with a father on the phone because he didn't want his daughter to get the chicken pox vaccine. My surveyor said that was fine, but he wouldn't be allowed to send his child to a daycare in my state.

When I first started, I had 2 pt kids whose parents had signed the religious exemption. They didn't do it for religious reasons though; mom was a homeopathic chiropractor. My sis-in-law had them in her daycare before I did, and she thinks they got some of the vaccinations but not all and still signed the form. I termed those kids but not due to vaccinations--dcb was out of control.

If a state tried to tell me or my daycare parents that they HAD to vaccinate their children no matter what their/my views were, I would be DONE with this job! Sorry, my son almost died from a vaccine! I won't put my kids in that kind of danger again! I choose to keep my families bodies as healthy as we can and let them fight things off. My two older kids are fully vaccinated, my youngest had a TERRIBLE reaction at the age of 1 and we decided to do our research and chose to not vaccinate further. No one is going to tell me I HAVE to do ANYTHING with my own child!
