    It took me six tries to get through the whole video. I had to pause it and take a few minutes each time. You know, honestly, I am not certain if my own vaccination is up to date–the last time I had a whooping cough vaccination I was a child, and I know my parents were careful enough to make sure that we got the full cycle, but I also know that adults are recommended to get boosters. Time to see to that next week.

    Please do – my husband got it last year and it was terrible, even for a grown adult.

    I just looked into it–every pharmacy from Costco to Fred Meyer to Walmart offers the vaccine here in the Puget Sound area. Presumably on a walk-in basis. That being said, if I had children I would not take them to a walk-in pharmacy but rather to a family doctor and follow their advice, but for an adult, these pharmacies are quick and easy. I know from getting travel vaccinations that they’ll provide you with a permanent vaccination card that you can slip into your passport and keep track of what you’ve had, when.

    Yeah. Adults who have been vaccinated a while ago can have it without even knowing it.

    There’s sometimes a joke here about a “hundred day cough” for a cold-that-won’t-go-away. Turns out that this can be a dose of pertussis. If you know anyone in that condition, keep them away from children (anyone really) until they’ve had a doctor confirm that it’s not pertussis or, if it is, whether they are still contagious.

    That bell is her oxygen alarm … her O2 saturation is below whatever the set limit is.

    Do that to your brain often enough, several to many times an hour for a few weeks, and it’s going to have some damaged cells.
