Do your children have to have up-to-date immunizations to receive WIC benefits?
Answers:
Ask for a religion/personal waiver. It isn't law (federal or otherwise) that you have to give your children immunizations. They are just recommended. You can waive them even when you enroll your children into school.
And for people who think that immunizations will prevent all illnesses, my children were vaccinated for chickenpox and still got it. As a matter of fact, my two year old had them for two weeks and we had to take him to the ER twice from them. That is after he got them from his then 7 year old brother who had been vacinated for chicken pox when he was little.
They are injecting a virus into you hoping that you will build up enough immunities to that virus. There are people who get the virus from the injections themselves.
Good luck with your research.
I believe they give you something to sign that says you, yourself, chooses not to get your children immunized.
