WOW.

This is not quiet the same, but I have thought that it was so crazy that when I took my children to the pediatrian and they "had" to get their vaccines, that I was made to sign a waiver/agreement form before they would give the shot-yet they had to have the shot whether I liked it or not. If I had it to do over (of course I wouldn't let them shot that garbage into my kids again) I would refuse to sign.

My oldest is getting ready to go off to college and I was worried about the shots "required" for her to live in the dorm. All parents that I talked to said that you had to have them. I checked on the web for the requirements by the state and found out that it is required that the college tell you of the dangers of menegitis etc. and let you know that a shot is available, BUT it is not required to have the shot. When I received my health form from the college, it was worded in such a way (even with my knowlege of the truth) that the first time I read it, I thought that she was going to have to have the shot. They are very tricky. I signed the form saying that I have received the info and declined the shot offer. We received another form a couple of months later. I guess that they were hoping that we would go ahead and get the shots. I once again declined their wonderful offer.
