Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Since diptheria, tetanus, and pertussis are all bacterial in nature (am I correct here?) having them once doesn't provide lifelong immunity? I know that is true with tetanus, but how about the other 2? And Hib as well, I understand it is not the Hib that is the danger, but the meningitis that may develop - is meningitis bacterial and therefore able to be contracted more than once? Also, how does the CDC justify these shots if the actual infection itself doesn't provide immunity? I am curious to know their stand and how they explain how the vaccine works - I cannot find the description in any of my readings so far. I know that the vaccines are dangerous, but to educate myself I would like to know how the government is convincing people to get them, so any info anyone might have would definitely further my understanding. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
