If your unvaccinated offspring is going to be in contact with their offspring, it damned well is those parents' business. https://t.co/f8OLZCNQId

This one seems to really upset the antivaxxers. We don’t allow anyone unvaccinated in our house with our newborn, and even the grandparents had to get DTP updated. It’s important to prevent exposure of children to both communicable diseases and immoral idiots.

Mark, It might upset them because it’s so frustratingly nonsensical and dangerous. The vaccine doesn’t prevent the carriage and transmission of Bordetella Pertussis. When it works at all, it only prevents symptoms. Maybe you should have consulted with a doctor?

Funny how the only idiots who show up to make this bogus claim are the antivaxxers. Maybe they’re in the echo chamber? I’m going to go with the CDC, the literature showing > 90% efficacy, and not the conspiracists on the internet who don’t believe *any* vaccine works. Blocked.

Given all the numbers at the end of the handle, it’s almost certainly a troll or bot anyway...

For those that want the reality, pertussis vaccine is effective but it wanes, thus asking for boosters in adults contacting a newborn. Maternal vaccination is > 90% effective protection < 2 month olds. For adults boosters are ~100% for the first year then wane (~80% at 4 years).

So adults reup every 5 years to maintain protection for yourself and the newborns you might contact. Mom’s get a booster. And FFS don’t ever let goddamn antivaxxers in your house.

I just got an MMR booster a couple of months ago because I fall in the age range that was vaccinated with the old version of the measles vaccine and might not still be immune.

Yep. I got a 2nd MMR about a decade ago now, because I was in the age group that only received a single dose.
