Did you require family and friends to get the tdap if they're going to be around baby?

Question

Answer

Immediate family (grandparents, spouse, self, and siblings) and caregivers? Yes. Occasional one time visitors? No.

Answer

I've never heard of people requiring this for a baby until glow.... Literally not one person has ever asked me if I had vaccines before seeing their baby

Answer

CDC recommends it, so I'm asking family that will be close to the baby to get the vaccine.

Answer

Heck yes. Google a newborn with whooping cough if you have any doubts...

Answer

I'm not even getting it for myself or my baby. So no.

Answer

I have never gotten it myself  (this is my 5th pregnancy).
Its never been offered, and even if it was i would decline due to my culture. I have never even heard of this before i joined Glow.

Answer

Yes. I actually read a story the other day about an infant who passed away due to being exposed to whooping cough.

PS. I'm totally a paranoid FTM.

Answer

I didn't "require" it, but they people who she is around most often (my husband-aka Amelia's dad,  the grandparents, and my grandparents) all either got it or verified with their doctors that they were up to date.

Answer

I did. Only for my close family that would be around often.

Answer

My SIL's oldest had whooping cough twice when she was an infant. I'm really not trying to risk it.
