Vaccines lead to immediate relief and better health
2008-05-07 15:29:41 (GMT) (Caymanmama.com - Health News News)Only three short months after delivering a baby, Diana Simpson, a dental hygienist in Davison, Michigan faced uncontrollable coughing and found unbearable pain in her chest and throat. Remembering that incident, Simpson said, “It brought me to tears.” When Simpson’s family doctor tested Diana for asthma, she was told she was in good health and was not suffering from asthma. What she was diagnosed with was pertussis, a bacterial infection that results in whooping cough and has a sound of seal-like cough.
Most of the people get vaccination against pertussis as children. Yet, as a surprise it has come back ever since 1970’s due to lack of immunity among adults who received pertussis medication once in childhood. According to the Centre of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all adults should get a booster shot of pertussis so as to strengthen their immunity. However, only 2% of adults have gone for the booster shot.
Well, for all those who wish to attain good health, make sure you get several other vaccines that include Td booster shot against tetanus-diptheria once in 10 years. Similar is the case of chicken pox medicine Varivax, shingles vaccine Zostavax, mumps vaccine MMR, Hepatitis B vaccine such as Energix-B or Recombivax HB along with traveler’s medicine as per your doctor.
