Even the small estimate is said by Austria to be an exaggeration. In hope that she would be deterred by exaggeration, he dwelt on the subject. Yes, I said, and the exaggeration may be set down to you; for you made me utter my fancies. We have here an example of this adventurer's style of exaggeration and hyperbole.
Pertussis vaccines are recommended for people of all ages. Babies and children should get 5 doses of DTaP for maximum protection. A dose is given at 2, 4 and 6 months, at 15 through 18 months, and again at 4 through 6 years. A booster dose of Tdap is given to preteens at 11 or 12 years old.
Vaccinations against pertussis are not foolproof. Even if you were vaccinated against it as a young child, that doesnât mean you wonât get it. But if you do get it, your symptoms should be less severe. There are two different vaccines to protect against whooping cough, as well as diphtheria and tetanus: DTaP and Tdap. DTaP is for children under 7 years old. Tdap is a shot that has been given to older children and adults since 2005.
