Parents Of Teens Lacking Immunization Called To Court
Tuesday, 13 Nov 2007
Some students have missed as much as a month and a half of school because they haven't gotten required immunizations.
More than 2,000 Prince George's County students have not gotten their state-mandated shots.
Tonight, an ultimatum to some of those parents: Come to court, get the shots, or else.
Some students have missed as much as a month and a half of school because they haven't gotten the required immunizations-- for Chicken Pox and Hepatitis B.
So now the school system says it's time to get tough and take those parents to court.
Free clinics, free shots, door-to-door visits, and countless letters. Still more than 2,300 Prince George’s county students don't have their required immunizations.
This Saturday, more than 1600 students and their parents have been ordered to appear in circuit court for the children to be immunized.
Health workers will be on hand to give the shots immediately.
The problem is a new law that took effect last year requiring students in the fifth through 10th grade to also have the chicken pox and hepatitis b vaccine.
Parents who don't show up or fail to comply-- could be fined up to $50 and get up to 10 days in jail.
Although getting students vaccinated by "court order" may seem unusual, the law is on the school district's side.
Mary Kivlighan with the University of Maryland’s School of Public Health says-- the Supreme Court weighed in on this very issue more than 100 years ago with Smallpox.
The school district does grant exemptions for religious purposes or other medical reasons but only if parents apply.
Going to court-- was a last resort.
Hepatitis b vaccine requires three shots over six months.
One of the problems has been that students will get one shot but don't get the others.
Therefore, they're not in compliance.
