maybe you should live in a bubble! Don't blame the child that passed it to you. Guess you should of had YOUR BOOSTER SHOT! So blame yourself

[PKIDsOrg]

@TheAnn0929 It's not clear that blaming anyone will help. We're hoping that once people know the right information, they'll take the right action

@TheAnn0929 What is wrong with you? Why would you say something so ignorant? Are we watching the same video? Clearly she is not blaming the child, she is simply telling how contagious it is , and the importance of vaccinating not only your child but yourself as well. I am very grateful for this ad, I was unaware that I needed a booster to protect not only myself, but my children as well. Thank you

can whooping cough stage 1 start symptoms in 2 or 3 days

[Theroguesunit6]

I forgot to do that so I don't know if the exam is right because I eat alot of cheese that increases risk

[PKIDsOrg]

@Theroguesunit6 Sounds like you have a lot of health-related questions. You should check with your health provider and get his/her opinion on these issues.

I read that testicular cancer is not preventable is this really true because I looked up on it and it gives me very few information

[PKIDsOrg]

@Theroguesunit6. You can't get whooping cough from cats -- You get it from people already infected with whooping cough... Here's info from our frequently asked questions page: "Pertussis is transmitted through droplets from the mouth and nose when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks." For more info, go to our website PKIDs.org
