I'm not sure you have a lot of recourse here. Most (if not all) states allow public schools to exempt children from immunizations for religious reasons and there are some states where you can be exempt without having to give a reason. Obviously, that's public school and a lot different than a private child care that has young babies in their care. But, a lot of private childcare use the state law as their own rule... have you spoken to the director about your concern?

As I see it, my child goes to the store, is around friends all the time, plays at the playground and I don't check anyone's immunization records that played there before us. I figure we do the best we can to protect our children and then try not to worry about the rest.

In case my personal viewpoint on immunizations matters, I immunize my daughter on a very delayed schedule.

Good luck
