They never told me until after the fact that the tetanus shot I went in for also included the pertussis vaccine. Very deceitful.

Yes, it’s a crime. This happens to people all the time in the ER. They call it a ‘tetanus shot’, but it includes diphtheria & pertussis, too. So much for ‘informed consent’.

And I'll bet they didn't instruct you to stay away from babies and immunocompromised because you would be shedding the pertussis/whooping cough for a while. . .
