The CDC is supposed to be the leading authority in diseases, yet in their latest article, Alison Patti, whom I
asked to come here in February to help with the epidemic but wouldn't, BARELY even mentions the main issue here.
"Patti says in the email, "We also want to vaccinate everyone else who will be caring for the infant, creating a circle of protection. This includes dads, grandparents, older siblings, nannies,  childcare workers, etc."
She speaks about how great the statistics are among  children, with only a partial sentence dedicated to saying anything about the  92% of adults who are not vaccinated. The Whooping Cough reservoir. 
Again,  DOH, CDC and any other "expert" on Pertussis: When the vaccine manufacturer made the vaccine safer in the 1990's, it also reduced the effectiveness of the  vaccine, as well as how long it lasted.
This information was never shared  with the public, so they went along thinking they were still protected if they  had that vaccination. The truth is, that since around the year 2000, everyone  who had received the vaccine was no longer protected and that is when this great  Whooping Cough reservoir began. Add to that the unavailability of a booster shot  until the year 2005, and again, not sharing it with the public, only healthcare  providers.
Then in 2010, California has the worst epidemic in recent history,  killing 9 babies in the process. Still they say nothing to the rest of the  nation about the Tdap, only stressing childhood vaccine and those around babies.  That leaves out the population that need the vaccine- teens, adults without children, senior citizens, etc.. Most adults do not know they are not protected. This is the number one cause of these epidemics, yet they still do not say  it.
AGAIN, 90% OF ADULTS NATIONWIDE HAVE NOT HAD THE BOOSTER SHOT BECAUSE
THEY DO NOT KNOW THIER CHILDHOOD VACCINE HAS WORN OFF! SEND THEM A NOTICE AND
END THIS PREVENTABLE DISEASE FOREVER!
 
Kaliah died here in August of  2011, and still nothing. We went on the radio to tell people about the epidemic  and the Department of Health came on after to tell everyone that they had  expected it to be a bad year for Pertussis. If that was the case, why didn’t  they warn us? Kaliah may still be alive if they had.  They still were not going to warn us in April, until we forced their hand by threatening them with bad press.
They would not call the CDC, the CDC would not come, they spent more money trying to keep us quiet than on actual education and outreach. There was a whole team devoted to making sure we didn't make waves.
Millions upon  millions of dollars have been spent fighting this disease. If they spent the money to send out a Public Health warning to everyone, it could be over. I did the math and told the vaccine manufacturer that if they would send out a notice, they would stand to make billions in profit. Sounds of Pertussis, a branch of Sanofi Pasteur, has been spending a fortune on this for years now. They could recoup all of that if  they sent out a notice that warned their vaccine was not the same as it used to be. 

Please be advised now, that the Tdap vaccine everyone is getting right now is not long lasting either. They say you can only have one dose per lifetime, but it actually only lasts around 5 years as well. So, in 5 years, we are all going to need another booster shot, but who is going to tell us, and when are they going to tell us?

Hi, I just recently read about this topic and I'm so glad you're doing something about it to spread awareness. But in regards to pushing legislators to make laws, wouldn't it be more effective to have the government provide cheaper vaccines instead of use all the money for flyers?

From my experience, I know lots of people who are aware of the epidemic but choose not to hip other with the vaccine because of the cost ( I'm a human resource person at a fairly large company). Please rethink how you want the government to help on this issue!

Jenna, The legislation is the key to early eradication of any epidemic, not just Whooping Cough. The problem is they do not have to say antything at all right now. They don't have to tell you about any epidemic. The only reason you know about this is because we screamed at them to tell you! The postcard is just a warning system to let them know what to do next. They waited for months after we had reached the epidemic thrieshold before they put anything on their website or said anything to the news.Most people have insurance that covers the vaccine and we have had many free clinics and gotten the vaccine manufacturer to donate even more. The law is to make sure the next time we have an epidemic of any kind, we are warned about it, not left walking around an affected area with no knowledge about the potential threat to ourselves or our family.

    The Power of One. That is how this all started. An assignment at school to see if one person could make a difference. My Nieces baby Kaliah, had just passed away at 27 days old from Pertussis (August 2011) and I had so many questions.

    Guess what? I found out that one person can make a difference, and I am not ready to stop yet.
    I wrote a research paper called "Vaccinations, Personal Choice or Civic Duty". This began a journey which I will do my best to chronicle as time permits.
    It has grown into making real changes. So far we have created a Public Service Announcement which is airing all over our state of Washington (10,000 airings) as well as a Public Health Warning sent to all households in our county (300,000 addresses). Now we are creating a law to require the Department of Health to send a Public Helath Warning notice to all residents in an epidemic area in our state. We hope the other states will follow suit with a law of their own. Our law will be Kaliah's Law.
