I was thinking too... isn't it the other way around in schools... if there is an outbreak they have to warn the Non vax children so they don't get sick? Just wondering... so with this line of thinking, Should there be a note stating when a child recieves a shedding vaccination you should recieve the same form, letting you know? The danger isn't on the vacced, the danger is with your child getting sick from those that are vaccinated.

I wanted to update this thread. The school president met with me and she apologized. They called the licensing board, and the school was told they were wrong to pass out the notices, and there is no law. The president said the rule had been placed in the membership manual some yrs past, and they didn't know it was not proper procedure. I don't know if that's true or not. They were highly concerned when I slapped the Hipaa laws down in front of them with fines and jail time as one of the penalties.

They say they have taken the rule out of the membership manual, and they are glad I brought it to their attn, since another parent might not have worked with them. It's true that all I want is to work it out, since my children enjoy it so much there. I think I've accomplished what I need to, and I think the school responded properly, although a little clumsily at first. No other parent should get a notice like that, at that school, from now on.

Here in Ontario (or at least my municipality) if a vpd is in a school, the non vaxed kid is NOT ALLOWED attend until it is passed. Regardless of the parents' or child's wishes. The health department won't let them. I even siad that if the vaxes were so good, there wouldn't BE any vpds, but I didn't even get a response to that.

I'm glad it was resolved. From what little I know of HIPAA, it seems that letter would be a gross violation. I'm glad they apologized. Will they be putting out another notice stating that they were in fact in the wrong on this issue?

Are you happy with the outcome?

Congrats on such an well-handled and important personal battle!!!!

Awesome!!

It's so interesting anyways, glad it was resolved.
I would have been just sooo very tempted to point out the irony... I mean, all the vaxed kids should have to notify the school when they get vaxed since many of them have the potential to shed.

Glad it was resolved.

Good. Nice to see one of those insanely complex laws actually working in favor of the individual.

And you handled the entire business really well. Pat yourself somewhere or other.

I am happy to see things are resolved and they now know not to pull a stunt like that again.

Ahhhhhhhh Breathe... ahhhhh breathe
