I have a family that intervied last week and wants to begin care ( supposed to be today). They signed the contract but I didn't and the contract is not even completely filled out. During the interview dcm mentioned that the child was behind in a vaccine because of a reaction to the shot , so they were delaying the vaccine. I said that I would need a note from the doctor stating the catch up schedule , she said ok she has it.
Well it turns out that the child is missing almost all of the vaccines required by age 2 .
The child has only 1 of the dtap, MMR and hib.
Now the immunization form has no notation about a reaction to the vaccine given at 3 months ( that vaccine is not even listed).
But says the child has a temporary condition until 9/25. And they are claiming religious exemption as well.
What makes it worse is that the dcm said per law she doesn't have to give vaccines and I can't deny care in a way that makes me feel she will cause trouble if I do refuse care.
I was told by the dept of health nurse that I can't deny care because they claimed religious exemption and medical contraindication which the nurse found weird and thought she was just covering the bases to not have the vaccines.
I'm glad that I have a 2 week trial . And I will have to add an addendum to my policy handbook about vaccines.
