Anyone have experience using a Temporary Medical Exemption for preschool vaccination?

Yes, I am the OP of the other thread.

ETA Backstory: LO had reaction to vax. Don't want to vax again. Didn't tell doctor about reaction because I was in shock and dealing with it. Then moved and changed doctors. Don't know if new doc will give TME based on my personal account of what happened to LO.

So my questions are:
How easy/difficult is it to get a TME?
How long do they usually last, specifically for preschool age?
Would a doctor need to witness the reaction to write an exemption?

Thanks in advance.

My kids school didnt accept medical vaccination exemptions. Seems people abuse the system and therefore they gave me a very hard time. My son was/is allegic to dtap vaccine and they still didnt want to accept it. It was a nightmare. Good luck

Being that his reaction was only hives (not anaphylaxic), my dr told me I should just give him the vaccine in order to get him accepted. It was very upsetting, honestly, because who else is a medical exemption for if not such a scenario, but I bit the bullet and gave the vaccine. Bh hes ok 😀
