Oh, just be careful!
Our son is not immunized on the advice of a treating physician, a specialist in the area that concerns his med exemption, and we just got finished with a family court case with child welfare on a witch hunt about everything in our home because of (in large part) our unvaxed boy. which was astonishing to me, since we, you know, live in America and everything. While in posession of a letter from our physician that said the child was not vaxed for reasons having to do with his history and development, a child welfare lackey actually said aloud in a hearing, "Our wish is for this child to be vaccinated." Appalling.
Make sure you have a raft of cradle-to-present documentation to back you up, or be certain you can afford a high-dollar attorney on that day. Or both. Also, remember that if a physician says your child doesn´t need a vaccine, an administrator cannot require it on their say-so. It is just like paper covers rock: the doctor wins.
