We went to a wic nutrition class today ( why they heck they make you take classes is beyond me!) Anyway they made me sign a form that said my child had seen the doctor at least once between 4-8 months of age, really asking if we went to the 6 month well baby visit. I said we didn't but went at 4 months, luckily we moved when she was 6 months and I used that as an excuse. I signed the form with a visit date of next week since I do have a just quick meet the new ped visit so I know the doc incase I need him. And I did write down her height and weight, I told them I measure her myself every month. She is growing like a weed(1 lb and 1.5 inches in a month!) and healthy as anything she don't need a doctor!
My question is, do I need to have an exemption form ready at our next visit since it will be a reapplication and I will have to see a case worker?
In GA they only asked if I had a pediatrician but not if we went to visits or were vaxed so this is new to me! I can't believe they made me sign that i took my kid to the doc
: . They also announced to the whole class, anyone needing vax we give them free, even for the kids who need kinder boosters
: I do understand they are trying to help those that want vax but can't afford them but making the rest of us have them is stupid. I do have insurance that fully covers them but I don't want them!
I know that they can't force me and I plan to have paperwork ready on the laws as soon as I can find them. I checked the archives but found mostly stuff on medicaid or just basic wic can't deny you stuff not the exact law of TX, I do know they used to deny you welfare and food stamps for not vaxing due to clinton's welfare reform laws but I read something on the prove site that they made it illegal to deny aid due to not vaxing but I can't find the actual law to print out. Any links? THANKS!
