[quote=Anonymous][quote]That must have been scary! The good news is that the pertussis vaccine was reformulated to be acellular (the "a" in DTaP) which makes it orders of magnitude less likely to cause complications. So thankfully it's much, much safer now -- because you're right that pertussis is an epidemic now and can kill unvaccinated babies with little warning. [/quote] It was terrifying. He had that weird high pitched cry that they warn you about and several seizures. Even back then side effects were rare which is why, despite our experience with the oldest, our other four were fully vaccinated. I had forgotten that they reformulated that vaccine. He probably got the newer vaccine when he deployed to Afghanistan last year. I need to ask him about that. He graduates from college in a couple of months and is engaged. Definitely need to make sure he has been vaccinated before they have kids.[/quote]
