Proof of chicken pox for college??

My girls weren't taken to the doctor with chicken pox, but I had called the doctor when they both had it. I suppose they just take my word for it because on both of their immunization records it shows the date they had chicken pox.

DS18 just found some papers from his last day of school before graduation; one of the papers was the school's print-out of his immunizations that they had on file from all of the years he went to school there (1st - 12th grades). Under "Chicken pox/Varicella" it lists the month and year that he had chicken pox. All of these years, apparently that was good enough for them as proof. I'm going to scan that paper and fax it down to the university's health department and see if they accept that.

Just had to post because I recently received a letter from my DS11 school saying that I needed to provide proof of him having had the 2 doses of the vaccine before he would be allowed back to school in August for 6th grade. I talked with the school nurse and she had like 80 kids that need to show her proof that they had recieved them. Some law must have changed somewhere.

I think it's some new NH thing. We've had a lot of parents calling our office scheduling kids for the vaccine. One school district's paperwork says they need the immunizaion even if they've had the disease.
