BALTIMORE — Standing orders are a very effective way to implement

routine tetanus-diphtheria- acellular pertussis immunization among

postpartum women, Dr. W. Steele and his associates said in a

poster presentation at a conference on vaccine research sponsored by

the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.

In December 2006, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (ACIP) recommended

immediate Tdap vaccination for postpartum women to prevent maternal

transfer of tetanus and pertussis to the newborn (MMWR 2006;55

[RR17]:133).

In an interview during the meeting, Dr. Steele noted that standing

orders eliminate the need for busy obstetricians to have to remember

to ask women about Td immunization, and the fact that they are

required to give the contraindication if they check " no " also results

in a very high acceptance rate.

Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of using

inpatient standing orders to improve adult immunization rates, and

the CDC has endorsed these strategies, said Dr. Steele, of the

department of pediatrics at St. 's Children's Hospital,

Springfield, Mo.

In collaboration with the department of obstetrics and gynecology at

St. 's Hospital, Tdap was added to the preprinted postpartum

orders. Physicians routinely check the order either to give Tdap

before discharge or to not give it and to identify the

contraindications.

Charts were reviewed for all 414 women who had live births during a

70-day period, and were compared with data from 14,738 adult women

whose claims and state registry data could be confirmed for the past

10 years.

Only 2% (9) of the women had received tetanus-diphtheria (Td)

immunization within the previous 2 years and were therefore

ineligible to receive Tdap, while 0.5% (2) were ineligible because of

serious illness.

Another 12.5% (52) of the women declined the vaccine, 3% (11) had

unsigned postpartum orders, and 3% (12) had signed orders to give the

vaccine but there was no record that it had been given.

The other 79% (328) received the vaccine, a significantly higher

proportion than the 36% Td immunization rate of the adult women in

the registry, Dr. Steele and his associates reported.

ACIP also recommends that health care workers in hospitals or

ambulatory care settings and those who have direct patient contact

should receive Tdap, in particular providers who have direct contact

with infants less than 12 months of age.

Because most infants with pertussis are infected by a household

contact, use of standing orders for postpartum women could

substantially decrease maternal transmission of pertussis to the

newborn.

Dr. Steele and his associates are currently working on a protocol for

prepartum immunization of the fathers.

when i was pregnant in 2004. I don't even now if they checked my

rubella immunity but i guess it's a routine procedure. I also declined

Hep.B for my son in the hospital and was given a form to sign and noone

said anything at all, not even dirty looks.

I got this vaccine in February when my son was born It was before I

started researching vaccine issues. They gave me a guilt trip about how I

was going to be the cause of my son getting whooping cough if I didn't get

it. And nobody informed me that Hep B is only really " needed " in case the

mother has it or if the child will be exposed to it in the household as

well, so I consented to that too and still feel miserable that I did. He

hasn't had any vaccinations since at least. At my son's first doctor visit

after we left the hospital, they pushed the flu vaccine on me. Same guilt

trip about how ill my son would get if I caught the flu and gave it to him.

I was dumb and allowed it.

Off topic - Now I'm reading up on all the toxins in various baby products

(furniture, mattresses, toys, lotions/shampoos/soaps, etc) and trying to

detoxify what my son comes into contact with. I am having a hard time coming

to grips with the fact that these chemicals are allowed to be used in

anything at all much less baby products. I'm stressing that he's been

exposed to them for three months now (and likely will still continue to be

to some extent since these chemicals are apparently EVERYWHERE). If anyone

has any good resources on detoxifying your household and safe baby products,

please feel free to email me off the list! I'd appreciate it.

Are there safe ways to cleanse a baby of any chemical/heavy metal build up

that might have occurred due to vaccinations and chemical exposure?

You weren't dumb. You were following your gut feeling at the time. The vaccine

manufacturers are very sly about taking advantage of tapping into that gut

feeling.

You trusted your doctor and had no reason to think vaccines could in any way be

harmful. And I really don't believe the doctors intend to cause harm, although

surely many are looking the other way when it happens. You weren't dumb at

all--and now you're aware. Good for you. It took me years to connect the dots.

They just haven't 'gotten' to your doc or hospital yet.
