The Choice Not to Vaccinate

[Starburst]

Thank you for that info, wow.

What about caregivers? I've had a several parents (especially doctors and nurses) ask me if I have all of my shots. Is that legal?

Usually if your licensed there may be some shots or tests you are required to have (ik California requires current TB test for everyone who works/volunteers with children or the elderly because I needed it for working at a home daycare, doing student teaching with public schools, and volunteering at a retirement home/hospice but i havent seen anything in the regulations about TB tests in Oregon). It does seem that there are times when providers don't get all the same rights to privacy as their clients do. when you think about it providers sometimes use phrase's like "we treat your children as if they were are own" that's actually an understatement in someways because not all parents baby proof or provide healthy meals for kids like providers are required to do, in someways providers have to treat DCKs better then their own parents are legally required to treat them (unless they're in the system, the state isn't required to go to the parents house and make sure everything is safe before the baby could be brought home).

When I was still looking for a nanny job after I moved one mom asked me if I had the Tdap (it was for an infant and lots of parents of infants are seeking providers with the prostasis vaccine; some even want a provider who gets regular flu shots). Ironically enough, I only got it recently before that because I was overdue of a tetnis shot and was at the hospital for cellulitis (my mom for some reason thought I would get lock jaw from an infected bug bite) and we accidentally found out we had medical insurance. I didn't even think to get it for childcare jobs.
