[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that this is a new recommendation because of the fairly large number of pertussis outbreaks in the last year. Adults can be carriers without many symptoms, pass it on to newborns where it can be deadly. My ped recommended that caregivers that will have a lot of close contact with my newborn (due in Oct) get the vaccination. He will not have any protection until he's two months old. My mom will be staying with us for at least the first couple of weeks and has been vaccinated already. My ped also recommended that I get the vaccine after deilvery. For what it's worth - our ped is a very progressive, happy to comply with alternative vaccine schedules, wholistic therapies, doesn't prescribe anti-biotics for every little sniffle, type of doc. The fact that she so strongly recommended the vaccine really says a lot to us.[/quote]
