RE: Why we vaccinate for whooping cough during pregnancy

in #steemstem6 years ago (edited)

Never been vaccinated, never been sick

You’ve been luck to experience one of the amazing benefits of living in the UK. Our vaccination program is so effective that it prevents the spread of the disease to such a degree that those that are not vaccinated (or can’t be vaccinated, as is the case for those with a compromised immune system) are shielded.


Also, full disclosure, there’s a good chance I’m going to steal your phrase here for a blog post on this topic in the future

I know you think you’re helping by sharing the information below but most of this really isn’t viable information to inform how we structure our disease prevention programs. The emotional content here is high and that has a habit of drawing us in, but the narrative that is spun really doesn’t hold much water when you talk to the people involved in vaccine policy.
