Vaccines protect everyone. There is a video a woman put online of her infant with whooping cough. The baby was too young to have received its first vaccination and was infected by someone else. People who don’t vaccinate their children and themselves are responsible for harming others. It’s a public health issue, not a private one.

The vector to the baby is likely one of the adults the baby comes in contact with. The whooping cough vaccine only lasts a few years and adults were not being vaccinated with it. It's now on the schedule but only when you get a tetanus shot and how many people are up to date with that?

My entire family is because we have young children in our family.
