Has anyone done any research on T-dap?

Question

I was told it is now recommended for pregnant woman in Canada along with the baby getting the shot for whopping cough at two months. I don’t know enough about it to know if I want to get it or not.

Answer

In the US Tdap is recommended for pregnant women as well as anyone that will be in contact with baby. Whooping cough can hospitalize and be fatal to babies which is why they push for the vaccine. I had it with my son and didn't have any side effects. My Husband as well as babies Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents also had the shot without any issues. They have you get the shot while pregnant to help protect your newborn. They also recommend that women have the shot with every pregnancy so every baby has some protection when born.

Answer

I'll be getting it. I like the idea of giving my child the best possible chance at living and modern medicine is great in that they have vaccines to help prevent deadly diseases and illnesses.

Answer

In Canada is wasn’t recommended to me with my first pregnancy in 2016, but it was in my 2018 pregnancy. I found that Interesting. If you get it in Canada you get a prescription for it and have to pick it up from the pharmacy for your next appointment. I believe the cost without insurance was $80. I got mine a few days after having baby instead of during pregnancy as it does transfer through breast milk as well.

Answer

I got it during my first pregnancy and will be doing it again this time around. Funny thing though, I actually got it twice within 1 year last time around 😂 I started a job at a hospital just prior to becoming pregnant with my first. Apparently you can’t have too much of the tdap vaccination 🤷🏼‍♀️ plus, I wanted to give my babies as much immunity protection as possible.

Answer

It’s not a live virus in the vaccine so I wouldn’t worry too much. I will be getting it as well as my so because we have a current outbreak going around our area and I would prefer baby be protected as soon as they are born.

Answer

I’ll be getting it. Whooping cough has been going around where I live the past few years. So anything I can do to help prevent my baby from getting a life threatening illness I’m all for.

Answer

I'll be getting it. It assures baby has a antibodies until he is old enough to get his own shot. My husband already got the booster, kids are all up to date, I couldnt forgive myself if I gave him pertussis.

Answer

I've declined all vaccines during pregnancy, read Dr Paul Approved Vaccine Plan.
