She filled in the Commonwealth of Virginia School Entrance Health Form, listing all the vaccines he had received since birth and their dates. In the Conditional Enrollment and Exemptions section, she wrote, "Jake is recovering from autism and is now a child with ADHD with residual autistic traits. Further vaccines may put him back into autism," and signed and dated it. That fall, the school accepted it with no questions or comments. I'm pretty sure that medical exemptions cannot be revoked. At least I hope I'm right. If I sound hesitant and uncertain, it's because my research has raised some doubts in my mind as to whether a medical exemption is the best option. According to Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of NVIC, "... it is almost impossible to get an American doctor to write a medical exemption today because the medical conditions, which qualify for a medical contraindication have been severely narrowed by CDC and AAP so that very few medical conditions qualify as a contraindication to vaccination. Therefore, it follows that very few medical conditions officially qualify for a medical exemption to vaccination."
