I am not against shots let me first state this, I have other children that have all their shots. Also I am going to school to become a nurse and I have received my immunization. The problem is my youngest has alot of different minor health concerns and because of this I do not want this child to have their shots. There is also a family history of complication due to shots. The problem I am having is that when I took my child to the doctors they refused to give me a medical exemption. (which by state law I have the right to request)
I live in the state of Illinois and you are supose to be able to get a medical exemption from your doctor so I am wanting to know if there is anyone out there that has had this problem and if so what did you do?

Thanks for any info.
