I'm east carolina from Prague from the former eastern bloc, tho Prague is west of Berlin. My home is in mitteleuropa and I love alot of things about living here and raising a child here, but one of the things I am most dissatisfied with is the compulsory vaccination law.

I am the head of a vax awareness and free choice advocacy group. We just celebrated our 2 year anniversay and so far our achievements have been that the TBC booster shot for 11 year-olds (many of you are probably scratching your heads -- they still vax for TBC? Sad but true) is no longer complusory and prevenar pneumoccocal vaccine is recommended but also not compulsory.

I am very glad to be part of these boards! Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hello there, sounds like you are doing a great deal in your neck of the woods. Terrific! TBC stands for which vax? Is it the BCG vax?

Welcome East Carolina. Sounds like you are working hard for a good cause. Good on you... I have a friend who is Swiss and she won't take her children back to Switzerland to live because of the comp vax laws..... rather sad really.
