    My parents will have two grandsons by June, so they both got the booster. Also my partner's parents are getting it, and my partner's father is tricking my partner into getting it. lol.

    There are additional benefits to people getting it in some ways - if they work outdoors or garden, they're getting a tetanus booster in the shot; and it's also recommended for older people to get this shot anyway.

    Also I will have hand sanitiser around to give to people before a hold.

    I think if it makes you feel better then ask them. Just make sure you research the vaccine and the disease. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security because you and your friends and family have been vaxed, it is still possible to have, eg whooping cough and pass it on. It's not as easy as passing by someone with whooping cough to contract it though, have a bit of a read up so you know how it's contracted etc.
    Definitely people should be staying away from your bub if they're sick!! When it comes to Whooping cough it's contagious before a cough/whoop develops,that's if a whoop does. So they may think they only have a bit of a cold but could later show to be more. Common sense should tell people to stay home when they are sick so they don't pass anything on.

    anyone who had close contact with DD for the first 3 months of her life was vaccinated/boostered. the exception was my younger sister who in anti vaxx, and she self-quarantined herself for 3 weeks before seeing DD.
