INTERNATIONAL SITES RUN BY VACCINE DEFENDERS
New Zealand:
New Zealand Public Health Surveillance: http://www.surv.esr.cri.nz/surveillance/surveillance.php
(This is the website you should become most conversant with. Keep up with the various surveillance reports if you want to know what laboratories are reporting in terms of disease rates)
Ministry of Health: http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/indexmh/immunisation-about
2008 National Immunisation Schedule and book:http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/pagesmh/7723/$File/41466_NatImmSched_Web.pdf
This page is the core page, and can lead you to other links: http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/indexmh/immunisation-schedule-html
This is the 2008 health provider handbook:http://www.esr.cri.nz/SiteCollectionDocuments/ESR/PDF/CommunicableDisease/2008-national-immunisation-booklet-08.pdf
New Zealand Immunisation Handbook: http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/indexmh/immunisation-handbook-2011
Lists of ther MOH publications relating to vaccination: http://www.moh.govt.nz/immunisation This page is the MOH e-learning resources for various medical groups. You can’t have a look, since you have to log in! http://learnonline.health.nz/course/category.php?id=6 I think it’s pretty telling that the general public aren’t “able” to have a look – or at the very least, the website makes no mention of that, other than some courses might enable “guest” access. Pathetic.
Education resources www.healthed.govt.nz
Paediatric Society of New Zealand: www.kidshealth.org.nz
New Zealand Family Doctor: www.familydoctor.co.nz/
Dr Nikki Turner: http://www.immune.org.nz/
Dr Glenn Buchan: http://osms.otago.ac.nz/immunet/index.htm
New Zealand vaccine reaction reporting:
If you or your child has a reaction, DO NOT rely on your doctor, nurse or anyone else to report your reaction.
Go to the Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring and download the vaccine reaction form. Do not JUST supply the form alone. Put together a detailed email or word document, and tell them everything that happened.
Set your email programme to deliver a receipt when the CARM website receives it, and another when the email is opened.
Ask for acknowledgement of the documents, as well as the CARM number for your case. If more than one reaction is reported (one after each of three injections) there should be three separate numbers allocated.

American Academy of Pediatrics: http://www.aap.org/
This is where you can find key letters by the AAP to be given to parents who chose not to vaccinate. Note their term “Refusal to Vaccinate.” http://www.cispimmunize.org/pro/pro_main.html?
Amazing how choice becomes a mockery: http://www.cispimmunize.org/pro/ParentalRefusaltoVaccinate.html
The old 2002 letter, which no longer appears on the AAP website, can still be found here:http://www.epractis.com/Forms/RefusalToVaccinate.pdf If it disappears, I will put it on Beyond Conformity, as I have a pdf copy of it, as well as a more recent mofication, which resulted in so many protests that it was removed from AAP’s website, but it’s important to know about this sort of tactice, since it’s likely to become more commonplace.
(July 2010 – It disappeared, as predicted)
