The ones that really have me scared are the Pertussis(whooping Cough)
|
Last month our new reported that Whooping cough is NOT really gone and that Many adults actully do get it because the vac's are no longer effective!?! There was a long segment on the news about the symptoms and the seriousness of it for a child who contracts it from an adult.
This is one that would be horrible if it returned.....in the past I believe we were given a live virus and now I believe it is not alive.

I wonder about even needing some of the others like Rubella since German Measles really mainly cause major health problems and death in Pregnant mothers and their *unborn* children.

I had German measles at 11 mos old and according to my mother it was scary and horrible and I was in the hospital....Vac's for this are at about age 16mos.
Last year there was an outbreak here in the College age children and they were all asked to get new vacs because we did have several young people die from Measles
And now the children are getting Vac's for Hep A and B as well as Chicken Pox---the one I worry about the most is Chicken Pox as I got them at age 28 and nearly DIED from them!
I don't know what the right answer really is--Our daughter had not been when she was placed into Foster Care and the State actually used this aggainst the birthmother---our daughter had to catch up on all of them in about three doc visits!
