Whooping cough

Babies do not have enough protection against whooping cough until they have had their third dose of the vaccine at six months of age. Adults are the most common source of whooping cough infection in young babies. All adults in regular contact with babies should be immunised every 10 years against whooping cough.

Note: pregnant women need to be immunised in the third trimester of each pregnancy to help protect their babies during the first weeks of life.
