Maryland vs Selective Vax

[toddlermama16]

I have a soon-to-be two year old, who is completely unvaxed. We had originally planned on beginning a selective schedule after two years of age, giving only the vaxes that we deemed to be useful and worth the risk. However, between when I first researched this (almost two years ago) and now, I can't remember if I read that it's really hard to do a selective schedule, with how the state (and school) laws are written. Something along the lines of, either you do all or you don't do any. I do feel that a few vaxes are useful, but I see the vast majority to be potentially harmful and not necessary. We are in Maryland, possibly moving to Virginia, and homeschooling, if that helps. Thanks so much for any insight you can offer!

Well, if you're homeschooling it won't matter because they don't ask about vaccination records. We're homeschooling in MD.

When you selectively vax in Maryland, and you're required to give a list of immunizations (school, camps, etc.), you can always just claim a religious exemption and not fill out the vaxes that your child has had. Act like you don't vax at all.
