Alice Clinton lives everyday with the consequences of her eldest daughter having a severe allergic reaction to immunizations. Clinton is concerned that her younger children's genetic make-up will respond the same tragic way. Sarah was the apple of her mother's eye.

Alice Clinton says she did everything she was supposed to do. "She had her first immunization at 3 months, within 8-10 hours after that, she started having seizures…she's had seizures everyday for 22 years."

Now, that girl is a mentally retarded woman, who spends her life being taken care of. Clinton must take care of her daughter's every need. "She never spoke, no self help skills, doesn't feed herself…she's like a 6-month-old.”

Alice's DNA clashed with the immunizations. Pediatricians have said this is a direct result of her immunization. So, Clinton has withheld such shots from her three younger children. They've received medical exemptions in Tennessee and Virginia, where they used to live. Now, the Clintons' doctors have sent letters to Searcy schools, stating that since the elder daughter is mentally retarded from a immunizaiton reaction, they urge the district to honor the parents wishes to withhold further immunizations, saying all three children should be exempt.

Clinton explains, "our pediatrician has advised for years that it wasn't in our children's best interest."

The MMR vaccine comes with this warning: saying that “due caution should be employed to persons with a history of cerebral injury.” But, the Arkansas Department of Health has responded, saying that a family member's experience with a vaccine is not a valid medical reason, and they cannot grant a medical exemption. Dr. Sandra Snow, of the Arkansas Department of Health, tells News 4 Arkansas, "there is no medical reason that these children should have problems with vaccines, just because siblings had a reaction to it."

But, Clinton replies, "with what we have from our doctors, with information in the warning package insert, it’s beyond me why that's not enough."

If the exemption isn't granted, this mother says she has some tough decisions to make. Doctor Snow says she's willing to look at further medical information and re-evaluate the case, but as it stands now, the request is still denied.

The students have until December 2nd to get their shots, or they cannot attend public schools in Arkansas.
