...prepare to be judged. That is what I got a healthy dose of today at the public health clinic. We usually see this one nurse who is totally cool and respectful of our choice to selectively vaccinate Sadie. Today I got to see a different nurse, and I think I totally threw a wrench in her game. Our convo went a little like this:
Her: Have you been getting your vaccinations done somewhere else? It looks like we have incomplete records for your baby.
Me: No, we are doing a delayed/selected vaccination schedule.
Her: Oh, well I need to get one of these forms and fill it out, because we can actually get into trouble from the state if they audit us and it shows our clients are not vaccinated up to schedule. Can I talk to you about doing a combo vaccine today?
Me: No, I think we are just interested in doing the Hib as a single.
Her: Well, it really is easier if we just give her the Dtap, polio and Hep B virus in one shot.
Me: No, I think we are just going to stick to the Hib.
Her: Okay, let me make a note of this in our records.
Me: Okay, there should be a box down by the bottom that you can check that says "Child's mother is a paranoid hippie."
