Are Titer Tests Acceptable in SC for School Registration

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I have a young child and really hate the thought of vaccinating him. He's almost 3 years old and will be starting school in a couple of years. I may homeschool him but I'm really not sure about it. The thought of my child's education being my sole responsibility scares me to death!

I am wondering if I can have titer testing done and use that as proof of his immunity to minimize the number of vaccinations he will be required to get. I can't seem to find anything specific to SC laws. Anyone know or can direct me to the right place?

Thanks!

SC has a religious exemption. Usually for this type of exemption, you cannot do any vaxes at all (that anyone knows about, you can selective vax, but keep it quiet) http://www.vaclib.org/exempt/southcarolina.htm

Why is it that you don't want to vax? are you planning on doing no vax at all? or delayed vax? or selective vax?

Titer tests are usually accepted, because it is proof of immunity, but I can't see a 5yo having much immunity if never exposed to the vpd(either through contact with a person who had the illness, or getting it his or her self, or by getting the vax). So things like measles, mumps, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis, polio, that aren't very common in your area will be diseases that he will probably show no immunity to, and thus you will be told to vax him.
