Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 If you are giving this to a 2 month old baby, you wouldn't know if your baby is one of those who could have a serious adverse reaction!!! This is so incredibly irresponsible and should be criminal!!!! <<The vaccine should not be administered to infants who developed Guillain-Barré syndrome after a prior tetanus vaccine, or if a serious adverse reaction was noted after a prior whooping cough vaccine, the company said.>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
