[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nephew is the one at risk.

Your kids are vaccinated so they are safe.  [/quote]

SafER maybe, but not completely safe.  My fully vaccinated niece, and several other kids, caught pertussis after spending a week away at camp with an unvaxxed teammate who turned out to be sick.  [/quote]
Then what good were the 4 dtap shots they had by 5?[/quote]

Presumably it gave their immune systems a head start in fighting the infection so that the disease was shorter and less severe than it otherwise would have been.  This would be a good question to ask your doctor, who I’m sure can give you a more accurate and complete answer, as well as address any other concerns you might have.[/quote]

NP. This is a screwy response. If you read the prior posts, you will see most posters seem to think vaccines will prevent a child from getting sick, not  potentially limiting a severe presentation of the disease or virus.

We shouldn't need to go to the doctor to get information about the purpose and effectiveness of vaccines. This needs to be taught.

The rabid pro- and anti-vaxxers are an embarrassment. [/quote]
