[quote=Anonymous]I've seen a lot of misinformation on this post....best place to learn about who should be vaccinated, what vaccine to get (many different vaccines have a pertussis component and which you get depends on your age). http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/pertussis/default.htm For instance I saw in a bunch of earlier posts that the vaccine isn't "safe" for individuals over 65. This is untrue. When you are looking medications and in particular vaccines, you are looking at what is "safe" and just importantly what is "effective". In general, the problem with vaccines for person's over 65 is that they loose their effectiveness. This is just a natural component of aging. A person's immune system is most able to adapt to new exposures (including vaccines) when you are younger. [/quote]
