is the chicken pox vaccine required for school, or is it elective?

Different states and areas have different vaccination requirements. It all depends on where you live. For myself, my daughter only got one DPT vax because she had a near-fatal reaction to the vaccine.  We got a note from the doctor that I kept with her records at all times because of the severity of her reaction. NOT something I'd ever want another parent to go through.....   And yes, we still had problems at times with people saying she was behind on her shots because of it. I told them that if they forced the issue, I'd press charges due to her documented, severe allergic reaction to the vaccine. That usually shut them up. (Something about calling my lawyer usually did...)

i was prepared to lie through my teeth and refuse due to religious reasons until i did a bit of research and found out that the vaccines are not responsible for Autism.

  I'm still out on that one, at least for the older vaccines that did have the mercury base. I know too many parents that can trace the start of symptoms to a vaccine time period. And there are some trials that show a link. But they're small enough and no one is willing to duplicate them large-scale for people to take them seriously.

So I still don't know....

Hmmm. . .

Let's see. . . Autism doesn't kill.  Measles, Mumps, and Rubella CAN and DO kill or cause complications, so even if there was a link, I would still vaccinate.
