No, it's been know for a while the vaccine doesn't prevent it. Last year, there were several threads on FR about it. I read an article awhile back reporting something like 80 cases and all but a small handful had been vaccinated. The reason I'd been reading up on it was a relative had a baby and the doctor (and mama and grandma)wouldn't let anyone in without the vacination. Thing was, you passed muster if you stopped at the nurses' station for a shot 5 minutes before arriving at the maternity ward. Yes, for real. Ridiculous. So much drama was made over getting the vaccine that we decided we'd better not subject him to our germs until HS graduation. Of course, the baby was carted all over the city the day they were released and in day care within two weeks.
“The current vaccine for whooping cough, or pertussis, may keep you or your baby healthy, but it may not stop either of you from spreading the disease, a new animal study suggests.”
They try to blame the newer vaccine but that one has been out for 25 years. So it’s not exactly ‘new’.
