I can't get it ... I'm highly allergic to pertussis in the vaccine

Since me and my hubby live with my parents, & they'll constantly be around the baby. I've asked them to get it with me. & my doctor said it would be great if everyone that was going to be around the baby a lot to have it.

I'm getting it and my son got it. I'm getting it in my third trimester before baby comes so it will give baby immunity until it gets its own shot.
