Are there any MA mommies who selectively/delayed vax your DC? How do you get around it in terms of preschool enrollment? After 16 loooong months of unemployment/underemployment, it looks like DH is FINALLY going to get a job offer in the Boston area, so I've been frantically trying to find preschools for DS1 since I know registration starts soon.
I've been looking at some of the registration forms online, and they all require children to have received certain vaccinations before entering preschool (one of which is varicella, which I certainly wasn't planning to give my son until he was older). At my son's preschool in CA, we weren't even required to fill out an exemption of any kind. We just photocopied his immunization records with the registration, and that was it. In MA, apparently you also need some kind of lead screening and physician's certificate, too.
If you selectively/delayed vax and live in MA, how do you get around this? The preschool forms I've looked at say it's mandatory that your child's vaccinations be up-to-date before they can enter preschool.
Thanks in advance!
