The school my two oldest kids are in sent home permission slips saying that they were going to be giving them out ‘free’ to everyone. I signed NO - NO - NO - NO to both of the ‘permission’ slips, and told both of them that under no terms is someone allowed to give them a shot. If someone tries, kick them, and run. Find a policeman and call me.
Sorry - mass hysteria is not necessary.
I did the same thing...except my kids are 6 and 9. The nine year old knew that under no circumstances was she to receive the vaccine. I told her if anyone shuffled her off to the nurse’s office, she was to state unequivocally that her mother did not sign the permission slip and should be contacted immediately. I didn’t trust that my first-grader would be so adamant so I walked him into school that day and told his teacher directly that under no circumstances was anybody to lay a finger on my child. She smiled and said she was on the same page as me. For the record, only one child in my 6 yr old’s class received the vaccine.
