Preventable!!!

Hey friends....I just wanted to share this with all of you! Jennifer Lopez Joins the Fight Against Pertussis in New PSA.. At our pediatrican office we are trying to have the parents be aware of how important it is to get immunized before having your baby or even after or now!! I have seen sick sick babies from this horrible sickness and it is so true the that more then half of the babies that get it...is from their parents!!or close siblings!! (and they don't even know they have it)So please everyone your insurance covers ! Its the the new tetanus shot(Adacel) and if some o f you are prego... some of the hospitals are asking mothers if they would like one or strongly recommend it.....and if so they will give you one in the hospital! Or Your doctors office will have one to give to you!! The vaccine has been out for quite a few years now..but ladies lets be aware!!! Don't let you be the one to risk it..and spread it to someone you love!!Sorry if you couldn't tell I'm a little passionate about it! Because I have seen it first hand and it is a sad sad thing!!! So SPREAD THE WORD!!! ( remember people who don't immunize are putting your baby at risk to...so spread the word )
Sorry.... I can step down from my soap box!!! P.S. >>>imagine that being your baby>>> or someone u love!

Shay, a close friend of mine has a friend whose 8 wseek old baby passed away from this. He was born totally healthy, caught it and did not survive. SO SAD!!!!! Thanks for sharing! I will make sure EVERYONE that is going to come incontact with my future babies is immunized for it! Too risky not to! Miss you all! Squish those cure babies for me!
