That just isn't right. Agree with the titter comment too... I know there are some diffs in some of the vaccines child vs. kids so I wouldn't assume offright that she's protected, but she could be and after having that large amount I'd be wary about doing more on top of it. But I'm more conservative on how we do ours so that prob plays into it.

Obviously leaving a child vaccinated with the wrong vaccines is some sort of violation that for the public health safety ought to be reported.Ann Seetonhttp://hg2au.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-90367663702534894402013-05-01T14:57:45.279-04:002013-05-01T14:57:45.279-04:00Did you think about getting a tither test to see i...Did you think about getting a tither test to see if she had immunity before starting the shot process? As a thought, perhaps the vaccinations she was given worked. I am not sure how the adult v child dtap would be different. I would, however, contact the prior dr office and make sure that the correct record was sent (if you didn't carry the files with you).Prof. Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300702154669290410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-90794916640164032552013-05-01T14:44:21.757-04:002013-05-01T14:44:21.757-04:00Maybe it's because I'm a nurse, but my kid...Maybe it's because I'm a nurse, but my kids have always done great with vaccines. Before Kinder, my older two had to get I think 5 plus a flu vaccine and none shed a tear - I am so fortunate! I have seen the gamut between "meh" and total panic flip-out with two nurses pinning the kids down for shots. It's awful.<br /><br />Having said that, how scary that Sadie has been unprotected all this time. With pertussis and measles making a comeback, someone really could have harmed her by not ensuring that she had the proper vaccines. I suggest printing out the current AAP schedule and keeping a copy of it for yourself to cross-check that the kids are always up-to-date. You can't be too sure, and obviously someone really could have hurt your child by their oversight!<br /> <br />Ridiculous!<br />KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-78399009969392356142013-05-01T10:26:57.134-04:002013-05-01T10:26:57.134-04:00I don't know why they freaked out. Our kids va...I don't know why they freaked out. Our kids vaccine records look ridiculous and messy. One of the reasons is that the government is constantly changing the type, dosage, and schedule. There is no way that a parent can reasonably keep up with all of that. Our firstborn's card looks nothing like the ones in later years. One year I was getting yelled at for refusing the oral polio (because I thought it was too risky) and two years later the government had stopped using it because it was unsafe. In addition to that, kids with allergies should be be screened before being vaccinated. Kids with known egg allergies should not receive certain shots (it says so right on the CDC website). etc. With your family's history of allergies, they should have been more concerned about that than about getting their boxes checked off. Poor poked kiddo. :(melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677295427283294982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-20732208343527371602013-05-01T08:41:10.949-04:002013-05-01T08:41:10.949-04:00Oh my goodness!

I wonder if there is some way for you to get your money back that you had to spend out of pocket, that is simply horrible medical practice. I have doctors in the family and understand the absurdity of many medical malpractice suits and the high rates of insurance, but that is really really bad. You should probably at least call your old county health board. Does Paul have any lawyer friends who can offer pro bono advice?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
