[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year I get both flu and covid booster and both are at no charge but DTap is not covered by my insurance so if parents insist on DTap then they should pay for cost of this vaccine or simply tell OP not to visit. [b]The truth is that washing hands is a better deterrent than the vaccines for flu and covid.[/b] As soon as I come home the first thing I do is wash my hands.[/quote] Sigh. No, that is not the truth. Yes, it is good that you wash your hands. Yes, washing your hands can prevent some spread of germs. But vaccines prime your immune system to fight off specific germs when you are exposed to germs that you can't get rid of by washing your hands (like breathing them in). DTaP might be covered by your insurance after 10 years because that is the recommended booster time frame. [/quote]
