@pui: That's total crap
There has to be a way out of the shot - it's insane that they can force you to have chemicals and disease injected into your body. Sorry you're dealing with this. I'd be livid if I was you.

@Ginger333: If it comes to it, maybe I should just refuse to get the vaccine again and see what happens.
-
@pui: I think it's insane that they are making you wait this long, but I wonder if the laws are based on a liability issue? As in, if the doctors let you pursue treatment without immunity, and you actually caught it, that they would somehow be liable? I know it seems like a long shot, but the diseases are still out there. Technically, measles has been eradicated in the western hemisphere, but it's still here:
Either way, I can't imagine how frustrating it is. I hope that your results are in soon, and that they are good, and you can move on to worrying about much happier things.

@LovelyPlum: I've already done the research on it. I took more of a risk when I took BCP that was "only" 98% effective. The chance of contracting Rubella in Canada while pregnant is less than a percent. It's much more likely I'd be in a car accident or even stabbed while pregnant, and I am sure the government won't be putting me under house arrest when I do become pregnant for the safety of the unborn child.
Also at this point I've already had the vaccine twice. What is the point of doing it again if I am still not immune? Chances are I'd never be immune. If there is no point in doing it, why do I have to wait for these results to come back at all?
It's not really my RE's fault because, yeah, they have to follow Health Canada's rules and if they don't they could get in trouble. My beef is with Health Canada for forcing people to get vaccines before they can receive fertility treatments.

@pui: http://vran.org/exemptions/ <-- maybe there's something on this site that will help you? It's geared towards kids in school, but it might still be useful.

@Ginger333: Thanks!!
-
@pui: That really really sucks. I know they are just following the rules, but common sense has to come in to play sometime!
-
Just curious, is there an appeal process for anything like this? Like who would you even go tO?
-
@T.H.O.U.: I have no idea... honestly. I guess I'd start at a Service Canada office? Arguing with Health Canada is not even something I would really consider doing because it will probably take way, way longer to go through this with them than it would be even if I have to take the vaccine again.
-
@pui: Yea I just wonder if its not worth starting to look into. Best case you spend the next six weeks starting the process and you get your results back and you are immune and you can drop everything and start treatment. However, like you said if for some reason you still aren't immune, you would at least have the process starting for moving forward without the immunization.
-
Oh no! I'm so sorry. I'm really hoping that 6 weeks is the worst case scenario and that it will be back before then.
