TDAP?

Just curious as to who in your family has had the TDAP vaccine and when they got it.

C's parents will be watching LO a few days a week once I go back to work, so they'll  be getting it, but what about my parents who will probably only see baby once a week or less frequently?

  • My mom, sister, BIL, and DH all already had it from when my niece was born. Both of my ILs got it even though they live out of state b/c they were going to be visiting a lot during the flu season.

    FFQ - I only recently found out about this. DH and I both have had tetanus shots recently. Are diphtheria and pertussis found in any other vaccines that we might have had or just this one?

    ETA: changed my question. Found the answer to the other one. Lol

    Here's a link to the CDC's website. Click on "Tdap recommendation for pregnant women" for more info.


    Awesome thanks. My phone freezes after only a few search results come up and won't show me full results sometimes. I wish I could use my comp at work to nest!

  • I would encourage everyone who comes in contact with your baby to get it. Having said that, H still hasn't, which annoys me, fortunately B now has his shots. But whooping cough is no joke.

  • I'd ask your parents to get it. Once a week (or even once every 2 weeks) still seems pretty often to me, assuming they will be holding baby, etc. Just my opinion though.

  • I got it, DH got it, and my parents had it.  The MIL swears that they both got one, but I think she's full of shit.  They didn't come to see him until he was 6 weeks though.

  • I got it at 28 weeks, DH got it last month. My parents and siblings all have had it. MIL has gotten it, but I'm not sure about FIL or DHs siblings. I want them to have it because they'll be at the hospital. I'm going to bring it up next time I see them, and if they get it awesome, if not then I won't start an argument over it.

  • My parents got it. DH, MIL, SIL already had it. I don't know about FIL but he wasn't around a whole lot in the beginning.

  • Just DH and I. The pedi said anyone that was going to see LO on a consistent basis, which nobody was besides us. And nobody sees him now on a consistent basis that would have us concerned and we have moved back home. We see family every couple of weeks.
    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!
