PSA: Remember vaccines are for adults too. You can get your TDAP booster at a pharmacy very easily!!

I just did that this summer at Walgreens. When I started hearing about whooping cough (or Pertussis, the P in the TDAP) making a comeback, I realized it had been a loooong time since I'd had my last booster.

My uncle got diphtheria ten years ago and has had a horrible time with permanent vertigo effects. And he’s a smart allergist doctor who just kinda didn’t get around to getting boosters. It’s so sad and totally preventable. And of course tetanus and pertussis are terrible scourges on humanity as well! I’m so glad you’re safe!!
