Cocooning Newborns in Protection
Mercy is the first healthcare organization in the Cedar Rapids area
to offer vaccination cocooning. Learn more from Birthplace nurse, Amy
Wright, during this segment on CBS-2 News.
The TDaP (vaccine
against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) “cocooning” program is an
important health initiative designed to give newborn babies an extra
layer of protection from whooping cough before they go home from the
hospital, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). Read more about this program.
