Hellobee Boards

I checked with our nanny and she is up to date.
Our preschool teachers are also required to be up to date and as an occasional volunteer at the preschool I'm required to be up to date as well.

My mom was the only other caretaker for DD back then besides me and DH, I made her get it!

As you probably know, I'm currently in this pickle, since I forgot to ask her and we're only 2.5 weeks away from me going back to work. I would ask her to do it, and if making the appointment is the issue, you can get one at a CVS or Walgreens Minute Clinic the very same day that you need one, with very little forms.

The problem is, you are considered up-to-date officially if you had it sometime in the last 10 years, but the new research out there shows that it really should be given every 2 to 3 years that you're interacting with a newborn. That's the issue. A lot of people think that they're up to date because their official record say so, but in reality the vaccine has worn off. My in-laws' dr in fact REFUSED to give them the Tdap booster because he was going off the official guidelines and not the newborn guidelines.

I'd prefer Tdap, and maybe suggest flu, too. But flu isn't always that effective, so I'd definitely be lenient on that. I don't think I'd be too pushy on either, unless you're definitely prepared to find a new caregiver.
