Infants are especially vulnerable to whooping cough. Unfortunately, most of them are too young to receive the DTaP vaccine. That said, it is important that all those living in one home be vaccinated against pertussis to avoid passing the disease to any infants or children.
Many reputable walk-in clinics in West Stockton, CA, like the one run by U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group, offer the DTaP vaccine. Health experts advise those who have received the vaccine as a child to also get a booster shot to update their immune systems. Pregnant women are also advised to receive the vaccine 27 to 36 weeks into their pregnancy.
