As the article said you could have still been a carrier or not responded to the vaccine or the babies might not have responded. The amount of people who had bad reactions to the old pertussis vaccine even though it was still being given widespread for years had caused many to be hesitant since doctors did not acknowledge that there was a risk or when it occurred they still pressed for the vaccine.
For most the cdc recommendations are best but if you or your family knows that you might be one of those that is a higher risk for complications from vaccines caution is not unfounded. Giving more leeway too doctors to help parents that have a higher risk child instead of pulling the party line would engender more confidence and encouragemore vaccinate, even if at a slower pace.
