Well, you opened the door a crack, since we've been dealing with a chronic
cough and that I had severe whooping cough as a child. Mom said I wasn't
immunized back then. Perhaps my doctor wants to safeguard me for those
reasons, if it's true like you said that we have to continue to have our
immunizations kept up to date. I, too, read that some of these old diseases
are showing up again. Thanks! Nanny
