Just wondering how long before we have to start explaining why we want to opt out of anything, and Indeed what restrictions may be placed on the child if they do not have the test, something marked on your records ? informing social services ? a letter or even a visit from someone......! pretty damn sure without testing or vaccines college and university admissions is going to be a no go for further education.
