Will you get the pertussis vaccine while pregnant?

Question

Answer

Me and all my immediate family as well. Pertussis kills infants and they can't receive the vaccine. It's safe for pregnant women as it's not a live strain you're injected with. Please consider it unless you're truly allergic to the vaccine components- pertussis is on the rise and it's an awful disease to watch a child suffer through, especially a very small child

Answer

Absolutely. My whole extended family is getting boosters. I don't want my kid to suffer or die because of the anti-vax movement's horrific and irresponsible propaganda.

Answer

I didn't really have a choice ( but I would have gotten it anyway) my doctor ordered it with my glucose screening. Whooping cough is a serious thing so it's a good idea.

Answer

Yes, and I made sure my husband is current on his also! I got my tdap in my hip so it didn't even hurt.

Answer

I already got the TDAP shot (got it at around... 28 weeks?). Whooping cough is huge in Texas so definitely wanted to get it!
