I am 31 weeks along and just got my Tdap booster shot yesterday. Have a sore arm today but no other adverse reactions. Most adults have been vaccinated for WC at some point – but the effectiveness wears off. A booster shot is recommended after 10 years to maintain immunity. We are also asking that immediate family who will have contact with our Baby ensure that they are current on their vaccines. Living in WA state – I’d rather be safe than sorry.

My husband came down with whooping cough while I was 35 weeks pregnant and I am not one to unnecessarily medicate (at any point during pregnancy or birth) but I would rather be safe than possibly pass a deadly illness onto my newborn. Neither of us had bad reactions to it and are making sure the family gets vaccinated as well since we live in the county where it is the most prevalent.

Thats right, Whooping Cough Spreads Mainly through Vaccinated Populations…

CDC is getting desperate. The VAST majority of those who are getting WC are already vaccinated! It doesn’t work. Read the package inserts, warnings and adverse reactions…it’s NOT recomended for pregnant women.

I live in Washington state and have had this vaccine. It was awful. I had a bad reaction from it and had to go on meds after getting the vaccination.
