Whooping cough and the other child

[onthefly]

just called. waiting to hear what they say. I mean, if we've got it, we've got it, but I don't really want to pass it on to anyone else (or more than we already have)
And they keep talking about vaccinations. yes, we're vaccinated. but it's not 100% is it?!

Exactly, you don't want to pass it on and they should be telling you how to be safe etc.
You're right the vax isn't 100%, but it could also be the strain not covered by the vac. So it would be good to know which it is and how to protect the rest of the household, and friends, family and anyone else. Hope they get back to you soon, you can always get a second opinion from another doc too.
