Better get Shot!!
A guide to vaccinations men and women over 50 need
by: Dara Chadwick | from: AARP Bulletin | September 16, 2010 Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) (available for adults since 2005) Who should get it: Adults 50 to 64; 65 and older receive Td booster only.
The guidelines: A resurgence of pertussis-also known as whooping cough-has led to a CDC recommendation that adults 50 to 64 receive a booster immunization that protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. California currently has a "raging epidemic of pertussis," says Poland of the Mayo Clinic, adding that Canada recently issued a warning to its citizens planning to travel to California.
What to consider: If you have young grandchildren or frequently spend time around infants, it's important to have a Tdap shot to boost your own immunity to avoid infecting children you spend time with, Poland says.
I had a colleague from another campus email to say her husband here in Brooklyn Park, had whooping cough!! Consider getting a booster.
