What the Expert Says:

I would check with the state department of education in Nevada and your doctor. In most states children cannot attend unimmunized unless there is a medical exemption or religious exemption. In about 11 states there is also a philosophical exemption. These are state laws and exist for the protection of children by herd immunity since not all children are well and have immunity.
