Varicella Vaccination Question?My daughter has received all required vaccinations in the state of PA. We recently moved to GA. The second dose of the varicella (chicken pox) vaccine she was given was administered 2 days too early, according to her doctor in GA. They wanted to re-vaccinate. I refused because she's already had the vaccine, and since I read some literature about the chicken pox vaccine being bad because it wears off when the kids are adult and more susceptible worse cases. I was looking online for a religious waiver to sign and saw that I should refuse to sign any waiver the school due to it most likely having verbage in it that I am "putting my child in danger." Does anyone have an experience they can relate?

Just say no. They can't refuse to educate your daughter, and giving her a vaccination without your consent is assault.
A good friend of mine contracted Multiple Sclerosis a month after being forced to take the flu shot and a tetanus booster. I believe we over-vaccinate our children, our pets, our selves...
Just my opinion.
Good luck.

You shouldn't sign anything, tell them that you would be more than happy to go to the School Board and discuss this matter there. You have every right to not get the 2nd shot as long as her shot records are up to date from the state you just moved from. Call her doctor from your previous home and ask them to write a letter for you

As a pediatrician I frequently had to deal with this bureaucratic nonsense. Would it mollify the Georgia apparatchik if there were two leap years in the interval between the two injections? That occasionally worked for me. But sometimes I just couldn't fight city hall.
As for waning immunity, the experience from Japan now extends out to 30 years or more, and so far it hasn't been a problem.
In our state you can refuse, but the school has the right to exclude your child in the face of an epidemic.
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
