Makes me nervous about going places, too. And 73?!??? mumps cases, yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measles-in-minnesota-and-michigan#post-2724662 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 13:48:38 +0000 gentlelunette 2724662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are 73 confirmed cases of the mumps in Toronto. I'm freaking out. I have an 8 week old baby and am honesty worried about taking her out in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measles-in-minnesota-and-michigan#post-2724661 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 13:36:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2724661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I live in Minnesota. Definitely annoyed since I have a five week old!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measles-in-minnesota-and-michigan#post-2724654 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 13:02:48 +0000 Cole 2724654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so scary to me. My sister is one of those people who can't get immunizations (well, she can but she can't build antibodies so it's useless) and she relies on herd immunity. I'm in Michigan and she's supposed to visit in a few weeks. I hope it doesn't get too crazy.</p> <p>ETA- I do acknowledge though that sometimes you can get these diseases even after being immunized but certainly immunizing statistically helps the population as a whole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measles-in-minnesota-and-michigan#post-2724645 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 11:14:15 +0000 MrsSCB 2724645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else feeling freaked out? My son's not old enough for the MMR. I believe it's now up to eight cases in Minneapolis and two in Michigan. There are also outbreaks in Europe. Wtf. With travel being so easy these days, I'm hoping this doesn't get out of hand. More than it is anyway. 😢</p> <p><a href="http://m.startribune.com/five-new-cases-of-measles-confirmed-in-hennepin-county/419511993/" rel="nofollow">http://m.startribune.com/five-new-cases-of-measles-confirmed-in-hennepin-county/419511993/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/04/07/522867040/as-measles-surges-in-europe-officials-brace-for-a-rough-year" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/04/07/522867040/as-measles-surges-in-europe-officials-brace-for-a-rough-year</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2109370 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 15:33:22 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2109370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: I was sick and on antibiotics when I was supposed to get it, and then we all forgot about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2109314 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:12:57 +0000 regberadaisy 2109314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I would call and ask.

You have to get it again but your spouse/parents etc don't have to get it again if they got it the first time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2109034 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 00:01:05 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2109034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB wants all pregnant women in his practice to get it no matter how recently you were last vaccinated. He said it isn't just about making sure you're immune but ramping up your antibodies to pass on to the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2109032 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 23:59:56 +0000 jedeve 2109032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. You are vaccinated but getting the vaccine while pregnant confers immunity to the baby which is critical before they are old enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2109023 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 23:44:53 +0000 Corduroy 2109023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said she will do it at the 28 week appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2109012 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 23:00:17 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2109012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did at my last appointment (28 wks). I wasn't entirely thrilled about it, &amp; I feel like I've had many TDAP shots, but also heard the latest guidance is each pregnancy, so reluctantly got it done. I will say that this time it hurt like crazy for several days after. I'm no pansy, but I could barely move my arm the next day &amp; ended up icing my shoulder that night. Should've done that sooner. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2109003 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 22:45:56 +0000 Torchwood 2109003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read somewhere (I think one of the notices on the wall at the midwife office?) that it's every pregnancy. It hasn't come up this time yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2108985 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 22:19:19 +0000 bhbee 2108985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes - first time in the hospital after birth, this time my OB wanted me to get it between certain weeks near the end to try to maximize immunity for the baby. I'm guessing with more cases popping up they want to do whatever they can to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2108979 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 22:11:46 +0000 Mrs. J 2108979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told yes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2108972 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 22:06:50 +0000 78h2o 2108972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, with every pregnancy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2108969 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 22:05:49 +0000 LAZB 2108969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. They used to say once every five years, but now they say with each pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2108961 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 22:00:14 +0000 marionberry 2108961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My understanding is yes. I had gotten it right before getting pregnant with my first (knowing we were trying) and this time, while pregnant with twins my provider suggested I get it again. Her comment was that while I didn't need it, it was the best way to get the vaccine to the babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-got-the-whooping-cough-vaccine-your-first-pregnancy#post-2108952 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 21:37:25 +0000 yellowbird 2108952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>are you supposed to get it again for subsequent pregnancies?? I'm 2 days shy of 38 weeks and this just crossed my mind. My doctor hasn't mentioned it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vaccine-costs-soaring-ny-times-article#post-1763997 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 08:51:27 +0000 loveisstrange 1763997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And, this is why capitalism and healthcare don't mix.

"Pfizer, the sole manufacturer, had revenues of nearly $4 billion from its Prevnar vaccine line last year, about double what it made from high-profile drugs like Lipitor and Viagra, which now face generic competitors." That sucks that they are the sole manufacturer of Prevnar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vaccine-costs-soaring-ny-times-article#post-1763771 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 07:50:41 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1763771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember the post from a week ago about how expensive vaccines were.
