To further the drama of my week, I just received an email that I child in my girls' VBS class has since been diagnosed with Whooping Cough.
They attached a letter from DHEC saying that "if you child develops a cough between July 22-Aug 8" that you may need to do a culture, etc.
None of us have had any symptoms does that mean I should give this no further thought since the date hast passed? Of course, I have not had DS vax'd yet because a) I'm a raving worry wart about this and have been debating over exactly how delayed and how selective I want his schedule to be and b) the girls had an extreme reaction to their 2 month shots and c) I haven't wanted to throw possible side effects into the mix while trying to figure out the puzzle of UTIs, reflux, jaundice, MSPI and BFing challenges.
Do you guys think I should push forward his vax because of this known exposure or just proceed as usual? I guess I am confused about this letter since it just came this morning but the dates are passed?
