Anonymous asked: I think you should very VERY glad you didn't get that vaccine when you were 3 months old. research dtap & SIDS.

I actually did have DTaP when I was a baby (can’t remember when though), but it requires a booster every five years I think.  And from what I read, it’s easier to have when you’re younger, the older you are the worse the side effects get, especially by the fifth or sixth dosage.  I want to say this is my fourth or fifth though so that would make sense.  I didn’t know this before I got the vaccines, but the information was provided to me by the hospital, I just didn’t bother to read.  Derp!

And I did just look into DTaP and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and after about 30-45 minutes of reading, I found more scholarly sources claiming there isn’t a link than articles claiming there is a link.  SIDS is at its peak occurrence between 2 and 4 months, which incidentally is also the average time of vaccines in infants.  However, correlation is not causation.

Thanks for trying to scare me though.
