Salary. With a median salary of $59,460 per year, cost estimators wade at the deeper end of the construction-work earning pool. However, they are employed in nearly any industry that offers goods and services. The best-paid earned an impressive $98,140 in 2013, while the lowest earners took home $34,280.hadowing a veteran cost estimator and on-the-job training are good ways to gain experience in the field. Hands-on experience is particularly important, as it gives applicants the chance to see and learn how the company handles estimates firsthand.
Vaccine Basics. There are four combination vaccines used to prevent diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough): DTaP, Tdap, DT, and Td. Two of these (DTaP and DT) are given to children younger than seven years of age and two (Tdap and Td) are given to older children and adults.
We recommend that all children and adults get a pertussis-containing vaccine. 1  The recommended pertussis vaccine for infants and children is called DTaP. This protects children against 3 diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pertussis). 2  DTaP shots are given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. To maintain protection, boosters are also given at 15 through 18 months and 4 through 6 years of age. 7- to 10-year-olds who are not fully immunized with DTaP, should get a Tdap vaccine which protects against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis). Preteens going to the doctor for their regular checkup at 11 or 12 years of age should get a booster dose of Tdap.
