baby she's expecting unless they've had a recent TDaP!
Everyone has complied, except my 81 year old dad who is having trouble locating a place to get vaccinated!
I for one would love to see every county health department funded to provide walk in shots for free several days a month!

before we left with our twins in June. I took them up on it.
They just got their first DTaP yesterday... it sucked because they cried (first time in their memory that someone hurt them like that - they don't remember the hospital), but they seem to be OK today.
