worst meningococcal menigitis-anything where the brain is swelling is bad! 10 percent fatality rate

hib the risk of the haemophilus influenza is only really to kids under 5, but it again can cause swelling of the menenges (bacterial menigitis)

hep b the liver is important, chronic diseases of the liver aren't good

tetnus (DTap) lockjaw needs medical tx

polio- 90 percent are asymptomatic, the last case of wild polio in the US was 1979

pneumococcal- pneumonia isn't too worrisome, its treated at home with penicillin

pertussis (DTap)  whooping cough can be hard to catch your breath

measles- 0.01 percent have a serious reaction you have a face rash

mumps-20-30 percent are asymptomatic, you have some facial swelling and treatment is at home with tylenol

varicella- chickenpox

Really guessing on most, I wonder if I am even close.  Let me know...

Answer 5

most people don't even know anything about these thanks to vaccinations, but overall meningococcal meningitis would be the most immediate life threatening, polio really bad too

Answer 6

I'd say meningococcal would be first, then pneumococcal or polio next. i'm not sure what Hib or Dtap is but I know my children have been vaccinated for all of these diseases. I would say Varicella would be the least concerning to me though.
