Why not vaccinate?

[Kazmar]

After having Lucy, before leaving the hospital they gave me the whooping cough vax. Is that everybodies experience?

[Inanna]

DM they wouldn't have givn your daughter the Pertussis vaccine. It would have been Hep B.
Have a little check in her book -

[Trillian]

It would have been that and the Vitamin K vaccine - again one that is slightly dubious. Or did you mean they gave it to you, you had the vaccination? I never had that but then maybe that's what they are doing now?

[Indadhanu]

Trill and Inanna... I think they now give new parents the whooping cough vaccine/booster? It's free apparently? That may be what DM means?

[Trillian]

Yeah Leash, I think I remember reading something about that a while back in the paper.

[Kazmar]

Yeah ME, I got it Another friging needle, HATE them. My mid wife gave it to me...

[Heaven]

With the ingredients also being found in some foods etc I think there's a big difference between consuming a food and getting the chemical directly injected into your body.

[Inanna]

Aaah Qld health have begun to do that I think you're right Leasha...
Most babies who contract Pertussis contract it from their parents or another adult. So this would be why...
