Getting Immunizations Required by Schools 

Jonas: Hi, Jenny. Are you getting your kids ready for school, too? 

Jenny: Yes, as you can see, we’re buying lots of school supplies. 

Jonas: Did you get the school letter reminding parents to submit proof of immunization before the first day of school? I know that your youngest is starting school this year. 

Jenny: Yes, she is, but I’m thinking of getting an exemption1. I’m not sure vaccines2 are safe and I don’t want to take a chance with her health. 

Jonas: The immunizations required by the school are standard – measles3, mumps4, chicken pox, polio – all vaccines your other children have had. 

Jenny: But when I looked at the list, there were a few I didn’t recognize – diphtheria, hepatitis, and rubella. Who knows what our kids are getting! 

Jonas: The ones you mentioned are standard, too. Don’t you remember the outbreak of whooping5 cough last year? If our kids had been immunized, they wouldn’t have gotten sick. 

Jenny: I’ve read somewhere that vaccines might be dangerous. I just don’t want to jeopardize6 their future. 

Jonas: That’s precisely7 what you’d be doing if you opted8 out of immunizations. 

Jenny: Why’s that? 

Jonas: Because your children won’t be getting an education. The school is barring any children who don’t get immunized from attending school. 

Jenny: I call that irresponsible! 

Jonas: That’s exactly the word that came to my mind.
