I know that the age cutoff for Gardasil is 26 according to USCIS, I read it somewhere on the immigration forum websites. Gosh I am so happy that I don't need it, if it had been there 2 years ago - oh my! I wouldn't be surprised if some states will make laws that everybody needs to be vaccinated such as New York calls CPS on you if you refuse the vitamin K shot and eye ointment... Believe me it is terrible, I have had that the first 7 years of my life in Ex-Eastern-Germany. Medical care including vaccinations were mandatory and completely out of the hands of the parents - you couldn't even refuse that your child participates in a medical trial/study. Making vaccines mandatory is one of many steps towards such a dictatorship and I really find it concerning. |
My midwives asked if I wanted it after my daughter was born, I said no. They asked why, I told them the above, and they told me "But they studied it 6 years!" I said, get back to me in 20 and tell me how the women who got it are fairing, then I will think about it :P
I am glad to hear I won't need a new medical or the vaccines though! I didn't have my records from my childhood vax as we moved a million times and immigration made me get every. single. one. again.
:
I got MMR when my daughter was ~3 months old and nursing. Luckily I did have my childhood records, so I didn't get more. Our immigration lawyer said it was mandatory. It was the reason our interview had to be delayed because I was pregnant and could not have the shots (and the chest X-ray) earlier.
