Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I believe though that getting whooping cough does not make you immune, you can still get it over and over...is this right? What is the best way to prevent whooping cough in an infant? My sis has a 10 day old and they are saying that whooping cough is going around in the city. My sis is breastfeeding...anything else that could help? Thanks. > > There was an advertisement about whooping cough and how great it is to > vaccinate and how " everyone around me " should also be vaccinated > blah,blah, blah BUT.... > > what I found interesting was that they had a recording of what whooping > cough sounds like....I think my daughter has had it now that I have > heard how it sounds.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Anyone who has been vaccinated or has suffered from whooping cough will have a degree of immunity to the disease. They may contract a mild case some years later but this will not develop into a full- blown attack.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Plus, even if you vaccinated at 2, 4, and 6 months, they aren't " fully protected " until they've had all 4 of them, the final one being at 15 months. Am I correct? And when I say " fully protected " I'm quoting doctors. Ha. Ha. So if this is true and it really did work, then even vaccinating an infant, won't " protect " him or her until about 15 months, right? And by that age, I would think it wouldn't be as dangerous. Someone correct me if I am misinformed. > > > > > > There was an advertisement about whooping cough and how great it > is > > to > > > vaccinate and how " everyone around me " should also be vaccinated > > > blah,blah, blah BUT.... > > > > > > what I found interesting was that they had a recording of what > > whooping > > > cough sounds like....I think my daughter has had it now that I > have > > > heard how it sounds.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Good point. The final one is around age five. So, it's even longer until they are " protected. " Then why bother? They're past the age where it's a concern.

And by that age, I would think it wouldn't be as dangerous. Someone correct me if I am misinformed. " You were close. The CDC says it takes three doses for most to be " immune " . So, supposedly they'd have full protection by six months. The thing is, though, most deaths occur in those <6 months, so they are out of the biggest danger zone by then.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Re: Vida Khan said " What is the best way to prevent whooping cough in an infant? " I'd say vitaminc C to bowel tolerance if she is really worried. Try checking out the motheringdotcommune vaccination forums. Some Moms have talked about their experiences with it in the archives I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 As I've posted on here a few times, my nephew was fully vaxed and shows no immunity to pertussis (according to their definition). He also has autism. He played by the rules and got burned AND has no immunity. Sheri B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
