Yeah? Hmmm. Looking back, I should have questioned that, but at the time I was kind of in a hurry (I had procrastinated getting his passport and we had lined up a trip to the states soon) and I was just kind of like "ok, whatever, just tell me what I have to do to get the damn passport". My kids were born in a natural birth place, and it seems like everyone there was an anti-vaxxer. I'm surprised they didn't say something. Then again, they probably figured a gaijin wouldn't listen to them about such things.
