Well, DTaP is Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis rolled into one, although one can get a Tetanus shot separately.
As I said, I have asthma, and while it's not BAD day to day, coughing related illnesses knock me on my ass for far too long. At the last non-temp job I worked, whooping cough also swept through my building because my supervisor's girlfriend's co-worker didn't "believe" in vaccinations (dude, they aren't GOD, your belief in their efficacy doesn't make them more or less effective) and his kid contracted it and spread it around like wildfire. I lived in FEAR both for myself and for my other supervisor, who was immonusuppressed, and who wound up going out and buying a huge case of those disinfecting wipes. We started wiping down all hard surfaces plus phones and keyboards twice a day.
