Maine Vaccine Registry-how do you opt out?

[mainemommy1]

Does anyone know how to opt out of the state of Maine's vaccine registry? Is there a form? I just don't want it public information that the schools can access since I'd like to delay/selectively vaccinate and use either a religous or philosophical exemption for school. Thanks.

-I saw in the selective vaccine forum that some states allow you to opt out of their state vaccine registry.....I quickly checked online to see if this is the case for maine but did not see anything-am hoping someone on here knows how to do this.

You can tell your provider that you do not want to participate in the vaccine registry. It's not mandatory that all practices use Immpact so it's not mandatory that all patients are recorded, as of March 2008 only 40% of Pediatric Providers were using it. I bring my children to a family practice (they also voluntarily participate) but I just asked my FP not to report our statistics to the state she was OK with my verbal request.
