Message: <blockquote data-quote="chalup" data-source="post: 1241833" data-attributes="member: 306126"><p>When I was diagnosed with whooping cough in my 30's the first thing out of my mouth was "but I've been vaccinated why do I keep getting things I was vaccinated for" The answer was that for 8% of the population vaccinations don't work long term. I have been vaccinated for everything. I have had measles, mumps, rubella, and whooping cough. When my first son was born they did a titer to check my rubella immunity and despite having been vaccinated and also having had rubella, I still had no antibodies and was vaccinated again. I have no doubt that now, 28 years later, I have no immunity left. I do get the flu shot because they think it will help protect me in the short term and I am immune suppressed. I believe that the reason these diseases are still around has a lot to do with that 8%.</p></blockquote><p></p>
