I am not immune to measles...was with my las pregnancy but now am not.  I was going to teach summer school  this summer (2nd grade teacher) but now I am little concerned.  What would you do?  I do plan on asking my midwife her opinion for sure also  but it has been on my mind and it's the weekend.

    A lot of states have immunization exemptions...if it is something you are worried about then you should take action and not rely on other people...hoping they were immunized.

    Is there any way you can see if there are any kids with exemptions that you might come in contact with? 

     

    Side note - why do 2nd graders have to do summer school?

    I am a teacher and I was always told that you have the right to know who is immunized and who wasn't. However if you aren't ready to let your work know that you are pg then it might be tricky to ask them, since it isn't really a questions teachers ask the nurse every day. 

    As for getting the measles shot they won't do it until after you give birth. It was discovered that my mmr antibodies are completely gone. I asked if they could do it during my pg but they said that they wouldn't do it until I gave birth. Good luck!

    I'm a teacher too and our kids have to come with a signed doctor's form saying they've been vaccinated by a certain point in the year or they aren't allowed to come back to school.  We were definitely missing a lot of kids for about a week while everyone tried to get in for shots, but I don't know of any of my kids who were exempt.  I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    I check and see if anyone was exempt from vaccines too.

    Our district (I teach elementary) has summer school for grades K-12!  It's voluntary and free and anyone can attend.  They have enrichment for the GT kids and extra help for the kids who are struggling in reading and math.  It's a great way to bring up those lower readers, is taught by certified teachers, and is good for kids who don't retain knowledge well over the summer.  Plus, it's a half day of free activities and 2 free meals, which is important when you have a very urban and poor district.  Half of our schools are continuous learning schools anyhow - go year-round - so this keeps the other half of the city's kids busy over the break while their parents work.

    Wow, that sounds kind of cool.  Almost like a day camp.
