You can help kill Whooping Cough again. Get a DTAP booster.
Your GP can give it to you, or if you happen to be in San Francisco there's a clinic at 101 Grove Street that will give you the shot for just $10.
- sabat 16y agoThx for that tip -- I may just bike over there.
- jurjenh 16y agoHow did it die in the first place? Is there conclusive evidence that it was the vaccination and not just due to a cumulative effect of better hygiene, better diet and better living conditions? And when and how did it resurrect itself? These questions need to be answered, because if there was an incorrect assumption in any of the previous answers, the current solution may not be as good as we'd hope...
- jon_hendry 16y ago"And when and how did it resurrect itself?" Immigration and tourism from countries with less vaccination. Combined with reduced vaccination in the US.
- abdelazer 16y agoThat's right ($35 for most folks, $10 for people with very young kids), they're doing walk-ins for the pertussis booster right now (http://sfcdcp.org/pertussisiz.html http://sfcdcp.org/pertussisiz.html). Everyone under 1 or with a kid under 1 (including pregnant women) should get the shot ASAP. http://sfcdcp.org/AITCcontact.html http://sfcdcp.org/AITCcontact.html: Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Tues 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
