Guest guest Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 From my research though... the only vaccine that I was able to find approved for adults (11-64 years) was Adacel® by Sanofi Pasteur and when you check the list of ingredients it shows they are active strains.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I wondered the opposite, if she had been exposed and were breastfeeding, it's likely that her baby would be protected.http://www.archetypeltd.co.nz/Mothers_milk.htmWas a culture done on the baby to determine what it was?

Quite possibly the toxins/virus were passed through the mother's milk, add the possibility the mom was shedding the virus, you really increased the chances of that baby getting sick, very sad.Diane W.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 .... and this vaccine may contain mercury, from my recollection. Remember that pertussis bordetella is caused by a bacteria, not a virus. ~ Maureen R.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Absolutely agree. The mother's reticulo-endothelial system would have kicked in and protected the baby.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 No, no mercury: (https://www.vaccineshoppe.com/image.cfm?pi=400-10 & image_type=product_pdf) page 16 "does not contain a preservative." I don't see anything about active strains in the ingredients, although they would call it "live" anyway. It does mention active booster immunization on pg. 2, which means immunity will be produced from exposure to an antigen, not that they're using active bacteria. And on pg 17 it describes that the pertussis bacteria produces "a variety of biologically active components, but that doesn't mean the vaccine has active/live bacteria in it. It can be confusing, that's for sure.
