Whooping cough?

I am allergic to the Pertussis vaccine, as we found out when the vaccination almost killed me as a baby. So every few years I get a rellapse even though everyone else I know is immune. Whooping cough is....really unpleasant to say the least. It's actually quite a horrible disease which can be fatal. I've had it 3 times. I heard that it's quite rare to get the disease now a days, so I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is allergic to the vaccine too or if you know any real statistics. PS I already checked wikipedia.

I would highly reccomend seeing a Classical Homeopath in your area. Pertussis is not rare first of all and it went crazy in the midwest and Tx. for about 11 mos. last yr. The statistics for the disease itself can be tracked at the CDC website. The information that they are reluctant to give out is the fact that over 90% of the people who have contracted the disease were vaccinated for it. And you are far from alone concerning your reaction to the vacc. itself.
