Get a blood test for immunity to those things.
If they show up as immune, you show that and it's the same thing. No vaccination necessary.
That's what I did when I immigrated to the US.
They wanted me to have 8 vaccinations as I could not show medical records - they got lost.
I was insane with worry about having all those vaccinations.
I went to anti-vaccination leagues to see what they could do - they said, sorry, we can't help you.
So I figured it out myself.
Got the immigration doctor to have me tested for immunity against the things I had to be vaccinated for.
At first, he tried to dissuade me saying, "Oh, but it is expensive!" and I said "Yeah, but it's cheaper than the vaccinations, right?" and it was!
In the end, I came up as "consistent with immunity" on ALL counts, and I'm pretty sure I had not been vaccinated for all of them - but I did not have to be vaccinated. The only thing I HAD to have was a tetanus booster.
Phewsies all around and a big pat on the back for me.
I've told this story so many times, and no-one listens, no-one comments, but i hope it will be of some use to someone some day who really does care about succumbing to big pharma.

Well, GOOD ON YOU!

Very interesting info, and you say it cost less to be tested for immunity than to be innoculated?

Excellent info!

Original Message My 18-year old son has been accepted this fall into a public university. The college requires verification of measles (Rubeola) immunity for all students born after December 31, 1956. He's had his measles shots so he's OK there.

But then I found out via my doctor's office that whooping cough has been known to shut down another college's baseball team because of a whooping cough epidemic in 2008. The nurse said they could give the whooping cough vaccination in with a tetanus shot. But his tetanus shot is up-to-date (2006).

If that wasn't scary enough, the college also said that meningitis afflicts between 100 and 125 students on college campuses every year in the U.S. and 'immunity is particularly important for students who will be living in densely populated settings such as residence halls, fraternities, or sororities'.

I have to see the doctor anyway to sign off on the measles immunization (to prove my son had the shots). But what to do with the tetanus/whooping cough/meningitis vaccinations? I'm suppose to go to the clinic tomorrow (March 10th).

Help.
