Tdap..yes or no?
My doctor is recommending the Tdap booster (I got my last booster in 2006). I understand the dangers of whooping cough, tetanus, etc. my concerns are these:
1. Tdap is a class C. Safety of class C drugs hasn’t been confirmed safe for pregnant women
2. Tdap booster contains formaldehyde and aluminum which can affect the baby’s brain
3. No long term effects studied. Booster has only recently (since 2012) been recommended for pregnant women.
I’m really torn on what to decide. I know whooping cough can be deadly, but seriously all the negative side effects that the CDC does not disclose realty frightens me...
