I am just sorting the kids vaccinations/certificates etc out (nightmare, or what!). I checked out the FAQ here viewtopic.php?f=74&t=123217However, there is a sort of ambiguity (or maybe I am misreading). It suggests in one place that evidence of previous chickenpox infection is sufficient. I can provide that through a doctor's letter. However, further along it says that doctor's letters implying no need for vaccination are not acceptable. I am probably not understanding something here. So, if I can provide a UK doctor's letters saying that my kids had chickenpox during Christmas 2012 (depressing, that was) would that be regarded as acceptable in anyone's experience?

What this means is:
A valid medical reason not to have the vaccination is acceptable: allergy, had virus (such as chicken pox), positive heath test (BCG) etc.
What this is referring to is where some parents use a first amendment right to not have their children vaccinated in the US and the schools still have to take them. ie there is no valid medical reason for not having the jabs, just a legal one.
Our daughter had chicken pox, and was not vaccinated but still immune. No problem with this and was still acceptedby the Aramco schools. In fact, I don't even recall having to obtain a doctors note to verify this, but my memory might be deceiving me.

Cheers Maursh, That makes sense to me. I thought I may have been reading more into it than there was. I will still pursue the doctors letter, though, as there is also the statement that verbal statements from parents are not acceptable. One never knows.........

Best to get the doctor's letter for sure.
