most cases of whooping cough stem from the parents and/ or gandparents affedted with it, not the outside world
My children dont have sex or share needles with anyone that has hepatitis B either.
Do your reasearch, decide what level of exposure risk u and your children have, look into the actual diseases your children are being vacced for, then decide what u want to do

Yeah I know re the grandparents and parents - DH and I have both had whooping cough jab, as has my mum. Dad can't as he is allergic to tetanus. As for the in-laws I don't know that I can quite force them and I'm not sure they are on the same page as me as to illness and precautions.
Hepatitis we refused at birth. I guess it's just whooping cough that I'm really afraid of...

The whooping cough vaccine doesn't cover all strains of the virus that cause the disease so whether the child is vaccinated or not the child is still at risk and therefore protective mechanisms should be used.
