I forget about how that vaccine works- when is he fully vaccinated against it?

I'd probably call the ped and mention it, since it can be such a big deal, but my gut says since he's an older baby and vaccinated it's probably fine? But def call the dr and mention it.

If he's had his vaccinations on time, he should have had three doses of the whooping cough vaccine by now. From my understanding (I could be completely wrong), I don't think the vax totally prevents you from getting it, I think it just means it will be a much milder case if you (Xander) do contract it. Still a call to the pedi to ask what signs to look for probably wouldn't go amiss.

Hoping you all stay healthy!

@Adira: So far as I know, the next booster isn't until age 4, so he should be fully vaccinated now... It definitely isn't a part of the 12 or 18 month vax and those are the only ones we have after the 2, 4, and 6 month shots until they hit age 4. Of course this is going by the Australian vaccination schedule but I'm pretty sure it's the same as the US.
