[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 727575, member: 1233"] They did some shots at school, mostly the TB test and a booster for some shot that was just added, as I remember it. Most of us got our shots from the doctor, but the archdiocese would send a nurse or a group of medical people to the school for some things each year. They did all the Catholic schools every year. The shots were a new thing that was added because all of the middle and upper grades had to have the same shot. I remember because they never had the same thing for the 4th through 8th grades as far as TB tests and the scoliosis testing and physicals for sports (yes, they had a doctor come in and do those at the same time). Beth and Michael the Paste Eater both had fits over the needles. Beth hyperventilated and Michael the Paste Eater tried to run away. Poor Michael. He ate paste all through kindergarten and first and second grades and was Michael the Paste Eater until he made the football team. Every grade had a kid or two that had a problem with the shot and the TB test. If this wasn't a newly required booster, we would not have had it done at school, I don't think. Most of us got them at our doctor's office. As for vaccines, I am VERY pro vaccines. There were children I stopped having playdates with when I learned their parents refused all vaccines. I was afraid that much stupidity might be contagious. My kids got all vaccines except the HPV vaccine. Jess and thank you both had very bad reactions and were told not to continue with it. By the time the HPV vaccine was offered to boys, Wiz was not living with us, so I don't know if he has had it. It also was not offered to boys his age. They had their chicken pox titers tested at some period after their vaccine to make sure they were immune, just so they would not bring the disease home to me. My immune system works very badly, so my docs do not want me to have the vaccine. I was all for it, but with the way my system doesn't work, we don't know what might happen. I have developed reactions that nobody understands, so we have to be very careful. I remember when someone tried to get me to sign up for a lawsuit saying that Wiz got Asperger's from his vaccines.
