Whooping cough is a highly infectious respiratory illness that can cause serious illness or even death in babies, young children, or the elderly. Vaccination reduces the risk of catching and passing whooping cough to friends and family.
Whooping cough immunisation is free for pregnant women in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, and recommended from 16 weeks' gestation onwards. Being immunised while you are pregnant can provide added protection for your baby. The whooping cough vaccine is safe for use in pregnancy.
