I recently had to have a tetnus shot and when the the doctor gave me one with Pertusis vaccine in too.
The ones we had as kids, or that our kids had are not effective. There is a resurgence of the Whooping cough and some people can cough so hard you break a rib.
So please update your vaccines....yes we adults!

The nurse told me, part of it is the influx of the illegal population that has not been protected and presenting forms of strains we have no immunity too.
The children are in the schools with our children, and now we all have to be viligent in checking into protecting ourselves.

This shot did not even hurt or swell as the previous tetnus shots bothered me.
The one I am not sure about is for my 12 year old daughter for cervical cancer prevention...
Also, the one she had for Chicken pox is said is wearing off....Makes me think it would have been better for her to just have been exposed as a child and gotten it over with.
Just wanted to share as I was so surprised when the doctors shared this.
