People, people, people.

Control yourselves.

Don't get in an uproar without EDUCATING yourself PROPERLY.  And please, don't teach your children to freak out like this.

AND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, SPEND THE $20 TO GO TO THE PHARMACY DOWN THE STREET AND GET YOURSELF A VACCINATION!!!

Is there really no common sense?

Um, infants under 1 can't have this vaccination and I think others, like myself, are pregnant and have already been vaccinated but want to know if there is a heightened risk since pregnant women were listed in the warning. [/quote]

Not PP, but there is an 800 number listed on the story OP linked that you can call if you were in the places where there was exposure. If you were exposed, I am sure they will give you advice on next steps. You can also call your OB.

Pregnant women are considered immunocompromised. However, most pregnant women will have immunity due to the vaccine. If they don't (because they weren't vaccinated or it wasn't effective), they could get severe complications from contracting the virus, like any immunocompromised person.[/quote]
