Today DH, DD and I toured the preschool we want DD to start this summer. I handed in our registration forms and got the health form from the director. I asked about vax and I'm afraid I blew it.
I made the mistake of telling the truth -- that DD had some vax, but wasn't up to date on all of them. Quite literally, every time I make an appointment or think about doing a vax, she gets sick. I refuse to vax her when she's not 100% well (and have done enough reading in the past 3 years to make my head spin about the whole thing).
Anyhow, I asked if there was an exemption or provision for being in the process of getting them and the director said there wasn't any. DD must have all shots up to date or she can't start.
So, I think I blew my chances of a religious exemption.
Does a private preschool have to take a religious exemption anyway? If so, any idea how I can get one at this point? Should I claim we converted this afternoon?
What do no vax parents do about preschool? I had planned to keep DD home with me, but she really needs the social interaction and I'm just not up to doing it myself. Bad mommy.
Why, why, why did Maryland eliminate the philosophical exemption?!
